A Father’s Nostalgic Farewell as Daughter Begins Training at LBSNAA

Indian Masterminds Stories

Ashok Kumar, a retired IPS officer, experienced a deeply emotional moment as he bid farewell to his daughter, Kuhu Garg, who is starting her foundation course at Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration (LBSNAA). The occasion was especially poignant for Mr. Ashok Kumar, who began his own IPS training 35 years ago in August.

Feeling highly nostalgic, Mr. Kumar reflected on his own journey, recalling the day he arrived at the academy as a young trainee. “Today was a very emotional moment when I left my daughter Kuhu at Lal Bahadur Shastri Academy for the foundation course. Exactly 35 years ago, in the month of August, I too had come sitting in a bus to start the training for my IPS career. A very memorable moment. I felt highly nostalgic,” he shared in a post on Social media platform X.
