The officers are Ravinder Puligilla, B Sree Bala Devi, V Arvinda Babu, B Raja Mahendra Naik, B Sai Sri, I Pooja and P Karunakar. As per the Indian Police Service (Probation) Rules-1954, the officers will remain on probation for one year. They will also undergo induction training under sub-rule 5(4) of the same rules, as amended on May 10, 2011, according to Uday Prakash Gupta, Under Secretary to the Government of India. ## Indian Opinion Analysis State police officers are promoted to the IPS through a State Deputation Reserve quota, which is governed by the MHA. The one-year probation is standard and includes mandatory training at institutions such as the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Police Academy. The promoted officers will serve as IPS officers in Telangana unless the central government orders a different posting. The next step for each officer is to complete the induction training successfully within the probation period. ## Coverage - deccanchronicle.com Straight announcement of promotions with no evaluative language.
