The programme reflects the Delhi Police’s commitment to ensuring that every child is given a second chance at education, they said.
“This is more than just law enforcement. It’s about mentorship and trust-building,” Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) (East) Abhishek Dhania said.
Police officers are also coordinating with local schools, NGOs and social workers to provide a range of support services — from facilitating admissions to offering emotional counselling and academic assistance.
Several students who had dropped out due to financial constraints, domestic issues or personal setbacks have already begun returning to classrooms, the DCP said.
“We are not just knocking on doors, we are opening them,” he said, adding that the programme marks a shift in policing — from protection to empowerment.
Based on its sucess, Delhi police plans to expand the initiative across other districts. PTI BM OZ OZ
