MP: Under 'Sashakt Vahini' Yojana, girl students get training for appointment in police force

Madhya Pradesh’s Sashakt Vahini Yojana provides free police exam training to 160 girls, empowering them under Beti Bachao Beti Padhao.

"This training is an important step towards making the girls self-reliant and empowered. – Himanshu Chandra, Neemuch Collector"

Neemuch

, July 10 (IANS) Sashakt Vahini Yojana is a programme under the Ministry of Women and Child Development, focused on providing coaching to girls and young women by preparing them for entry-level exams in the police department.

In Madhya Pradesh’s Neemuch district, the programme is giving a boost to the young women by fuelling their dreams and also preparing them for handling challenging assignments and tasks.

The girl students are being given free training, who have the desire and passion to bring glory to their country by joining the police and paramilitary forces.

The free training programme, started on July 10, will help in promoting gender equality and also in empowering the girl child under the ‘Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao’ initiative.

Student Divyani Sharma, speaking to IANS, said that she felt very happy to be part of this programme.

Another student, Vanshika Sharma, said that under the Beti Bachao Beti Padhao scheme, the Women and Child Development Department in Neemuch is providing free training to girl students for the recruitment exams in police, army and paramilitary forces.

This training programme was inaugurated in the Police Control Room located at the District Police Line.

Women and Child Development Officer Ankita said that 160 girls have been registered under this programme.

"Out of these, we have identified those girls who aspire to achieve something in life and move forward, but they do not have access to coaching facilities," she said.

“From today, we have started training the girls. Here, the students will be given physical training. This free programme will run for six months. During the training, all things related to the examinations will be explained in detail,” she said.

She said that the police and sports department are supporting this programme.

Neemuch District Collector Himanshu Chandra and other senior officials were present at the inauguration of the training programme. Encouraging the students, he said that this training is an important step towards making the girls self-reliant and empowered.

Great scheme but implementation is key. Hope they maintain quality training standards throughout the 6 months. Also, they should expand this to rural areas where girls need such opportunities the most.

My sister joined this program last year in Bhopal and now she's a constable! These schemes are changing lives. Kudos to the government for thinking beyond just textbooks and focusing on skill development.

As someone working in gender equality programs, I'm impressed by this holistic approach combining education, physical training and career preparation. India needs more such initiatives to bridge the gender gap in security forces.

Physical training is good but they should also focus on mental toughness. Police job is not easy, especially for women. Hope they include sessions on handling stress and public dealing too.

Bahut acchi baat hai! 👮‍♀️ In small towns like Neemuch, girls rarely get such opportunities. My niece is enrolled and the whole family is supporting her. Finally seeing 'Beti Bachao Beti Padhao' in action beyond just slogans.
