a Delhi Police initiative

The current initiative by Delhi Police aims to connect with the youth by upgrading their skills as per their competencies. It will help them to get gainful employment under the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojna of the Ministry of Skill Development, Government of India. Delhi Police has tied up with the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) for imparting job-linked skill training to the selected youth.

In the current age of digital revolution where the youth is eternally connected to each other on various social media platforms (facebook, twitter, whatsapp, skype, blogs etc.) with electronic/digital devices like smart mobile phones, tabs, phablets, computers, laptops etc., this generation of youth trusts digital information for social interaction and therefore connecting with the today’s youth has become a challenge for the police forces. It is a fact that today’s youth is experiencing a disconnect with the existing norms and institutions of the society and more so with law and the law-enforcing agencies. Therefore, there is an urgent need to devise a specific measure to win the confidence of youth and bridge the trust deficit.
