229 BLOs, 12 EROs and 2 DEOs take part in the training program at IIIDEM in the National Capital
Specialized one-day training programme for State Police Nodal Officer
(SPNO) and Police Officers from Bihar also begins
The
Election Commission is organising a 2-day
training and capacity building of
Booth Level Officers (BLOs) at the
India International Institute of Democracy & Election Management (IIIDEM),
New Delhi. This is the third such batch of BLOs to be trained from the poll-bound state of Bihar. 229
BLOs, 12 EROs and 2 DEOs from the State are participating in the 2-day training programme. A specialized one-day
training programme for the State
Police Nodal Officer (SPNO) and Police Officers from Bihar also commenced today.
The training programme was inaugurated by Chief Election Commissioner of India Shri Gyanesh
Kumar in the presence of Election Commissioner Dr. Vivek Joshi at IIIDEM,
New Delhi and was
followed by an interaction with the participants.
The
training is planned to familiarise the BLOs with their roles and responsibilities as
per statutory framework and equip them to ensure error- free electoral
rolls. They will also be trained in the IT applications designed
to support their roles.
This
is the latest in the first phase of the ongoing physical training programmes at IIIDEM in which 555 BLOs from poll-bound states of Bihar, West
Bengal and Assam and 279 Booth
Level Agents (BLA-1s) of 10 recognised national and state political parties from Bihar have already been trained. These well-trained BLOs will form a corps of Assembly
Level Master Trainers (ALMTs)
to strengthen the entire network of BLOs nationwide.
The
training of SPNOs and Police Officers from
Bihar aims to improve coordination
between election authorities and the
police for enhanced electoral
management, especially in the areas
of law and order, vulnerability assessment, Paramilitary forces (CAPF) deployment, and model code of conduct (MCC) enforcement.
Till date over 3000 participants from 141 countries including large democracies such as Australia,
United Kingdom, USA, Brazil, Egypt, France,
Indonesia, Israel, Russia and South Africa have benefited from training programmes from India’s
globally acclaimed election management practices
at IIIDEM.
