Gurgaon police's Udaan to help underprivileged youth soar

Gurgaon: The police department of Gurgaon has launched 'Udaan', a skill training programme for the underprivileged youth. Commending the department for the initiative, DGP Yashpal Singhal said it would go a long way in checking crime and strengthening community policing. “As many as 60 persons would be trained in hospitality in the first batch of Udaan,” said Singhal. It is the first project under community policing but the Haryana Police intend to start two more projects; Student Police Cadet Programme (SPCP) and Saanjh Kendra. Under the SPCP project, the students will be trained and apprised about the activities carried out by the police on the pattern of the NCC and the NSS, and under the Saanjh Kendra, senior and respectable citizens will be involved to solve petty cases of crime.
