Delhi Police public library initiative earns accolades
The Delhi Police on Monday achieved another milestone in their community policing mission. The police-public library has been awarded an appreciation certificate in the ‘innovation education’ category by the Asia Pacific Chamber of Commerce, Goa.
The police-public library was opened on February 22, 2012, in order to bridge the gap between the general public and police, and also to encourage the habit of reading among general public particularly underprivileged students.
The library provides free education facilities to students of weaker sections. The youths, belonging to lower strata of the society, enrolled themselves in the police-public library for a free entrance exam preparation course for teacher’s training colleges.
