Delhi Police for ‘Social Equality’

It is not enough to be compassionate. We must act!

                  The United Nations General Assembly has decided to observe 20 February annually as ‘Social Equality Justice Day’. It is a day recognizing the need to promote efforts to tackle the issues such as poverty, economic exclusion and unemployment. The challenge of Social Equality Justice is to evoke a sense of community that we need to make our nation a better place, just as We make it a safer place.   

                   Equality of opportunity is the essence of Social Justice. To achieve “a society for all” various governments made a commitment to the creation of a framework for action to promote social equality and justice at national, regional and international levels. They also pledged to promote the equitable distribution of income and greater access to resources through equity and equality and opportunity for all.

                  Delhi Police understands the repercussions of social inequality on overall crime and Law&Order situation of the National Capital. Lack of suitable opportunities to a section of people is detrimental to the overall growth of the Nation. Delhi Police has taken humble steps in this direction and has launched a “YUVA” scheme to provide job oriented training and skill development for underprivileged youth across all over its districts in Delhi.

                   Delhi Police South district in continuation of this affirmative action for the community is launching a flagship training centre under “YUVA” at CR Park Police Station in partnership with Primero Skills. The training cum skilling centre would execute job enabled training projects under the Indian government’s flagship skill program “Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana” under the Ministry of Skill Development.

                    Delhi Police has tied up with National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) and Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) for providing mass job linked skill training for the selected youth. National Skill Development Corporation shall be providing skill training to the youth under ‘Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojna’ (PMKVY) and CII will provide job linked training through its Sector Skill Councils who are connected to industry and thereby provide job guarantee.

                    In the best of standards as always displayed by South district, the training centre would have smart classes and state of art labs that would impart job oriented certified computer training for the local youth between the age group of 18-25 years, who are under privileged, have been victim of fraud and belong to the Economically Weak Sections of the society. The initiative “YUVA” under South district would be showcasing how police stations would go beyond their role of maintaining law and order to being a community partner and a social impact enabler in changing lives gainfully for our youth.

                     The youth coming for skill training in a police station building will be a huge step in building up their confidence and faith in Police department. This initiative would also display how a police station can be a ‘centre of learning’ catering to the needs of our youths. Training courses initially would be offered in the sectors of hospitality and retail computer skills certified by National Skill Development Corporation in addition to , various soft skills, entrepreneurship abilities.
