The topicality of our research is stipulated by the similarity of threats at the Ukrainian and Indian borders, status of developing countries and non-member states of military alliance, existence of border disputes. It allows us to come to the conclusion that there is a need to study professional training of border guards in theRepublic ofIndia to implement creatively some of its elements. The research aims to analyze methodological fundamentals of professional training of border guards in theRepublicofIndia, to outline methodological approaches and to describe the peculiarities of their implementation within the process of training of specialists of border guard agencies. Thus, the author explains the notions of «methodology», «approach», and «methodological approach». On the basis of scientific sources there have been selected five methodological approaches to investigation of professional training of border guards in theRepublicofIndia: competence-based, systems, person- and activity-oriented, andragogical and ethnoaxiological. Competence-based approach means the orientation of professional training towards formation and development of professional competences (knowledge, capabilities, skills, attitudes, etc.) which are necessary for professional activity. Systems approach concerns the analysis of professional training as integral generalized holistic system from the point of view of interaction of all its subsystems. Person and activity oriented approach is the approach to training including application of various types of learning activity which are suitable for specific subjects and taking into consideration the students’ needs and preliminary experience. Andragogical approach means training and retraining of adults. Ethnoaxiological approach concerns the fact that in the process of professional training it is necessary to consider philosophical concepts, national traditions and customs as well as inculcated in cadets universal values common to all mankind. It is necessary to admit that these approaches are not universal and in order to achieve the goal they should be used in combination. We are planning to further investigate the principles of professional training of border guards.     Acknowledgments.
