Director General of Police (DGP) R R Swain today asked the trainee officers to imbibe the spirit of pride and privilege for the opportunity to serve the nation and protecting the law in uniform.
According to a press release, he was addressing nearly 1000 freshly recruited police officers of the rank of sub-inspectors including about 60 probationary DSPs of the prestigious Jammu and Kashmir Police Service at Corps Battle School of the Indian Army at Bhalra in Bhaderwah.
“Very few get the opportunity to wear the uniform and serve the country and the community. It should be an occasion of immense pride and privilege to have been selected from among tens of thousands of aspirants,” Swain said.
“No sermonising but a few sincere thoughts from long experience is what I place before you – to be happy and successful, besides counting on the blessings of the almighty, one has to be a lifelong learner, said DGP Swain. A few years from now, many will find themselves surging ahead of other colleagues only because of their eagerness and striving to learn continuously, more because we live in a truly dynamic world characterised by rapid societal changes affecting the way we live our family lives, interact with neighbourhood, earn and spend, participate in politics and governance – mostly triggered by dramatic and incessant changes in technology,” added the DGP.
He highlighted that “all of us are mostly evaluated on three counts: niyat, mehnat and qabliyat.” “While the first two can be in our control, the last one is partly God-given. However, even this can be changed by a drive and strive to learn and this training school, thanks to the Indian Army, has afforded an opportunity which should be availed to the hilt,” said DGP Swain.
He thanked the Commandant of the Corps Battle School Col. Praveen Kumar and his highly committed and experienced instructors, who took around the DGP and gave him snapshots of the training content and state of the art facility and methodology. DGP Swain hoped that this would also be an additional opportunity to raise the synergy among the security and law enforcement arms of “mother India” ’ to a new level.
