Under this scheme, young volunteers will assist Police Control Room (PCR) teams in patrolling their concerned areas. “The youths have better idea about the localities and that will be helpful for the cops. The youths volunteering the scheme are non-students, mostly belonging to lower income group families,” said Bassi.
The Yuva Prahari scheme, which is soon to be launched by the police, was planned after several meetings with the Nehru Yuva Kendra Sangathan, under the Ministry of Skill Development, Entrepreneurship and Youth Affairs & Sports, added Bassi.
On December 17, it was first reported in Millennium Post that the scheme will be carried out in batches and the first batch would comprise anything between 135 and 150 volunteers. They shall be given a week-long basic training by the police and then deployed as assistants to the standard three-member patrolling teams — comprising a driver, an in-charge and a gun-person – in two to three districts of Delhi Police.
If it proves fruitful, more volunteers shall be inducted and the experiment will be extended to all 11 districts.
“The term of the voluntary service has not been determined yet. However, it will range from anything between two months and 100 days. A certificate will be given to the volunteers after the end of their service terms,” said Braham Singh, Deputy Commissioner of Police (PCR).
The details about Yuva Prahari are yet to be announced formally to the public.
In the soon to be held media briefing, information about the strength, tenure, training, certification, stipend and other details are to be clarified by the Delhi Police, said a senior police official.
