The CBI Academy in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh (east of Delhi) began in 1996. It is about from the New Delhi railway station and about from Indira Gandhi International Airport. The campus, with fields and plantations, houses the administrative, academic, hostel and residential buildings. Before the academy was built a small training centre at Lok Nayak Bhawan, New Delhi, conducted short-term in-service courses. The CBI then relied on state police-training institutions and the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Police Academy in Hyderabad for basic training courses for deputy superintendents of police, sub-inspectors and constables.
