The Bengaluru City Police have launched 'Project Khushi,' a health and wellness initiative designed to improve the physical and mental well-being of officers. The program focuses on preventive healthcare, nutrition, and stress management to ensure a more resilient police force.
Why it matters
Improving the health of law enforcement personnel is essential for maintaining effective public safety and reducing burnout in high-stress professions.
The Bengaluru City Police have launched ‘Project Khushi’, a structured health and wellness programme aimed at supporting the long-term physical and mental well-being of police personnel, Home Minister Priyank Kharge said on Tuesday.
The programme will initially be implemented in the Electronics City police division, covering around 600 police personnel. Each batch will undergo a three-month programme comprising health check-ups, expert-led guidance sessions, and digital engagement activities.
The initiative will focus on preventive healthcare, nutrition, physical activity, quality sleep, and stress management, besides other lifestyle factors crucial for the long-term well-being of police personnel.
According to the Home Minister, an earlier pilot programme conducted as part of Project Khushi produced encouraging results. Around 61% of participants recorded a reduction in blood sugar levels, while 70% corrected Vitamin B12 deficiencies. In addition, 59% of participants reduced their body weight.
