Rajasthan Police celebrate 77th Foundation Day with grandeur in Jaipur

Rajasthan Police celebrated its 77th Foundation Day in Jaipur. CM Bhajanlal Sharma launched a pensioners' portal, highlighted crime reduction, and honored civilians.

"Cyber crimes and drug addiction have come up as major challenges; we need to think afresh in modern ways to tackle these challenges. - Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma"

Jaipur, April 16

The Rajasthan Police marked its 77th Foundation Day on Thursday, with great enthusiasm and pride. A state-level programme was held at the Rajasthan Police Academy in Jaipur, where Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma graced the occasion as the Chief Guest. Speaking on the occasion, CM Sharma said that the crime rate has reduced in the state.

Security and safety issues have been maintained in the state, and hence investors are coming here with confidence, he said.

"Cyber crimes and drug addiction have come up as major challenges; we need to think afresh in modern ways to tackle these challenges. Society should stand active to check such a menace," he added.

The CM further said that the state government is working to control crime with a vision of zero tolerance towards crime and corruption. He specified that the Anti-Narcotics Task Force has been set up to check the drug mafia, and the paper leak mafia has also been exposed and sent behind bars. "Further, not even a paper has been leaked in our tenure," he added.

"We take pride in the vigilant sentinels of peace and security in the state," the CM said.

The Chief Minister's arrival added to the grandeur of the event, as he was escorted to the ceremonial grounds by the police motorcycle battalion and mounted troopers. He took the salute of the parade and paid tribute to the indomitable courage, professionalism, and unwavering dedication of the state's police personnel.

On this significant occasion, CM Sharma announced a major welfare initiative for retired police personnel. He inaugurated the Rajasthan Police Pensioners Portal, a dedicated digital platform integrated with the RajCop Citizen App.

This initiative will benefit thousands of pensioners and their families by enabling them to access essential services from the comfort of their homes, eliminating the need for repeated visits to offices for pension-related issues.

In a notable move, this year's Foundation Day celebrations also recognised outstanding contributions by civilians in the field of social service. The Chief Minister honoured three individuals, Prakash Prajapati (Sirohi), Surjit Kashyap (Jhalawar), and Sindhu Binujit (Udaipur) with Certificates of Appreciation.

Among the awardees, Sindhu Binujit from Udaipur has drawn special attention for her impactful work in child protection. Since 2010, she has been working in collaboration with UNICEF in the tribal regions of Dungarpur.

She has introduced innovative initiatives such as 'Vatsal Varta' and 'Bal Mitra Thanes' (Child-Friendly Police Stations), aimed at preventing child labour and reducing child migration. Her efforts have significantly helped in removing the fear of police among children in these communities. Her model gained statewide recognition in 2015, when then Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje directed its implementation across Rajasthan.

Foundation Day was celebrated with equal enthusiasm across various districts of Rajasthan.

Reducing crime rate is good news, but the real test is on the ground. In our colony, chain snatching incidents are still common. I hope the 'zero tolerance' vision translates to faster response times and more police visibility in residential areas, not just during ceremonies.

The focus on cyber crime and drugs is spot on. These are the biggest threats to our youth today. Glad the Anti-Narcotics Task Force is active. We need more awareness programs in colleges. Jai Hind to our police!

It was an honour to be recognised. The true heroes are the police personnel in districts like Dungarpur who have embraced the 'Bal Mitra Thana' concept. When a child sees a policeman as a friend, not a figure of fear, we build a safer future for all. This collaboration is key.

"Not even a paper has been leaked in our tenure" – This is a massive claim if true. Paper leaks have ruined countless careers. If this government has truly stopped it, that's one of their biggest achievements. Hope it continues.

The motorcycle battalion and parade must have been a splendid sight! 🏍️ It's important to celebrate our institutions. But true respect for the police will come when every common person, especially women, feels safe approaching them with any problem, big or small. The work on child-friendly stations is a step in that direction.
