Bhiwani Police Safety Drive With ‘Akancha Srivastava Foundation’ #AAH
‘Akancha Srivastava Foundation’ partnered with Haryana Police to spread awareness about #Dial112- Emergency Response Number. And cyber safety.
We were invited by Bhiwani Police, Haryana to step up awareness about their fantastic initiatives on ground especially for girls & children safety. Additionally, we conducted a 3 day drive for cyber safety as young children today are so tech dependent that they are not blinded to the dangers online.
This workshop was on day 1 where we addressed over 2000 children at Halwasiya Vidya Vihar. As you can watch in the video children truly appreciated the insights on how to stay safe online, trust their parents with problems they face, build confidence to approach police when needed and use their voice to speak up against any wrong doing. It was heartening to hear many personal stories that got resolved on this day with some counseling. Having Bhiwani Police women police officer with us instilled further confidence in the kids.
#Dial112 emergency response number is a fantastic set up especially for girls who can download this app and fill their basic information which allows police to track their location. All e rickshaws in Bhiwani have been given a unique ID and their driver’s details registered with the Police. In case of any such situation where a girl is feeling unsafe during travel, she simply has to Dial 112 and trigger emergency response. Patrol cars reach the victim within minutes with this ‘trip management service’. They even double check to ensure that the caller has reached their destination safely.
Additionally Bhiwani Police has deployed women Police personnel in plain clothes at ‘hot spots’ & ‘hot routes’ . These spots cover entrances of schools & colleges, shopping malls, bus stations, train stations, public parks, food courts, popular travel routes. These personnel immediately intervene at any sign of harassment.
Our Foundation was glad to be invited to be a part of this initiative where we educated thousands of young students across school & colleges about cyber safety and Bhiwani Police measures. Enriching experience for us to witness this change within interiors of the country. We will certainly continue this police public partnership for long term social change. Heartfelt thanks to Bhiwani Police, Haryana Police for giving us this opportunity.
Stay Aware, Stay Safe
Jai Hind, Jai Bharat!
