Delhi Police Initiative in Community Policing – YUVA Skill Development Program under PMKVY Scheme

‘YUVA’ is an initiative of Delhi Police to employ and steer street children & youth towards the mainstream of society, providing them with the opportunities to realize their potential and building awareness about their future through sports, Nukkad Nataks and skill development training. This is a Community Policing initiative not only to avert the youth from committing crime and delinquent acts but also to boost them to partner with police in maintaining law and order, management of crime and connecting with community at large.

In the present time of digital coup where the youth is eternally connected to each other on numerous social media platforms with electronic/digital devices like smart mobile phones, tabs, computers, laptops etc., this generation of youth trusts digital information for social interaction and therefore connecting with the today’s youth has become a challenge for the police forces. It is a fact that today’s youth is experiencing a disconnect with the existing norms and institutions of the society and more so with law and the law-enforcing agencies. Therefore, there is an essential need to devise a specific measure to win the confidence of youth and bridge the trust deficit.

The present initiative by Delhi Police goals to join with the youth by increasing their skills as per their competencies. It will help them to get gainful employment under the PMKVY of the Ministry of Skill Development, GoI.

Delhi Police has tied up with the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) and the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) for imparting job-linked skill training to the selected youth. The National Skill Development Corporation shall be providing skill training to this youth under PMKVY and CII will provide job-linked training through its Sector Skill Councils which are joined to industry and thereby arrange job opportunities.

A detailed exercise was conducted in all the 13 districts of Delhi Police to select the youth in the age group of 17-25 years for this training belonging to the following categories, mostly from the underprivileged colonies:-

School dropouts

Juvenile offenders

Victims of crimes

Families in a critical state due to the incarceration of the bread earner of the family

‘After selection, their counseling was organized by professional counselors of NSDC to select the skill for this training based on the educational qualification and their enthusiasm. The online data of all the selected youth has also been ensured. NSDC and CII shall also give skill certificate to all the participants in the completion of the course. This scheme envisages to assure that maximum number of youth who participate in this training get afterwards employed in the industry under PMKVY Scheme.

As fundamental step, at least one skill training centre in each of the 13 police districts in Delhi would be started in a Police Station building at the earliest. A total of 32 police station buildings have been identified where Skill Development Centers would be opened at the earliest.
