BIPSOT is a prestigious institute of Bangladesh dedicated to training of peacekeepers for employment in all types of UNPSO (UN Peace Support Operations). This institute fulfils the requirement of UNDPKO as per General Assembly resolution which outlines ‘the necessity and responsibility of every nation to train their armed forces before any deployment’.

     Bangladesh started participating in UNPSO since 1988 and within eight years became the largest troop contributing country in the world. The training of troops at that time was conducted at unit level until the establishment of PKOTC (Peace Keeping Operation Training Centre) in 1999 which was subsequently restructured and expanded to include other sate of the art training facilities for PSO. On 17 January 2002, the institute was renamed as BIPSOT (Bangladesh Institute of Peace Support Operation Training) to provide PSO training to all Bangladeshi participants. The training curriculum have been reviewed in the backdrop of Standardized Training Module–2 (STM – 2) and STM – 3 of UNDPKO and a new training curriculum has been developed containing a number of professional courses for the Bangladeshi potential Peacekeepers and also for the personals of Armed Forces of UN member states.
