The journey from DSP to “Policewala dost”
Various youngsters from adjacent ghettos went along with them. While Kumar used to visit the centres of learning set up in the ghetto regions on weekends, different volunteers also used to deal with the youngsters consistently. This likewise assisted him in changing the individual views of the people towards the police. Soon the respectful and considerate official came to be known as ‘Policewala Dost’.
His endeavours proved to be fruitful. Youngsters from the ghetto regions cleared school assessments with no trouble at all & have even enrolled for higher education. They were assisted by the volunteers under the aegis of an association called Nav Jagran. “I used to go to classes at the centre where kids from ghetto regions accumulated after school hours. It was like a centre of education with literally no fees. We learned manners and how to behave at the centre,” said a beneficiary named Junga Kumari.
