The document summarizes aspects of the K. K. Pathak Academy, which was shifted from Delhi to Mussoorie in 1959. It is located at an altitude of 6,000 feet on a winding route near Mall Road. The academy has three hostels, an auditorium, computer lab, polo ground, gym, mess hall, departmental store, dispensary, and holds treks and village exposure trips for students. It aims to train civil servants through four phases focusing on different perspectives of the IAS. The ultimate goal of the academy is not perfect training but something beyond.
