Events/Programmes held

Sensitisation Programme for Senior Police Officers:

A Vertical-Interactive Programme on "Policing and Minorities" was organized by the Centre, sponsored by the Bureau of Police Research and training, Ministry of Home Affairs (Government Of India), from 4 to 9 September 2006. Vertical Interation Programme for Indian Police Service 2006

The Programme was inaugurated by Ambassador Hamid Ansari (Chairman, National Commission for Minorities) and the Key-note Address was delivered by Mr. Justice J.S. Verma (former Chief Justice of India and former Chairman, National Human Rights Commission).

Introducing the theme of the Programme, Prof Akhtar Majeed, Director, Centre for Federal Studies observed that since the face of the policeman is the most visible representative of the Government, at the lowest level in society -- ---on the road, in localities, in the market-place-- it is important that measures are adopted to develop confidence between the police and all sections of Society. Vertical Interation Programme for Indian Police Service 2006 A Nation as such cannot develop and progress unless all the sections, all the groups---and, particularly, those who are the Disadvantaged-- do not feel alienated and discriminated. It is important that misperceptions and misgivings and stereotypes about each other are removed between the minority groups on the one hand and the police forces, on the other.
