Shortage of IPS officers in the country for five more years

Many times the government has said that the country is facing an acute shortage of IPS officers. According to sources, the reason behind this was less intake of IPS officers between 1997 to 2002. During this time on an average only 36 IPS officers were taken . This miner mistake has created a big vacuum. And since 2017 the intake of IPS officers are 125+ per year. Sources said that the situation will improve by 2027-2028, if this intake continues.
