Quality education for police children will help personnel focus on duty, says DGP
The Director General of Police in Telangana has laid the foundation for a new academic block at the Young India Police School. The institution aims to provide high-quality education to the children of police personnel, modeled after military schools.
Why it matters
Improving the welfare of police personnel through educational support is seen as a strategy to enhance professional performance and morale.
Providing quality education to children of police personnel is an important component of police welfare and would help personnel discharge their duties more effectively, said Director General of Police (DGP) C.V. Anand said on Saturday.
He was speaking after laying the foundation stone for Academic Block-I of the Young India Police School (YIPS) at the OCTOPUS-Greyhounds campus in Manchirevula.
Mr. Anand said the initiative followed the Chief Minister’s direction in December 2024 to establish a dedicated school for children of police personnel. Envisioned on the lines of Army and Sainik schools, the institution aims to provide education of national and international standards.
The school began functioning from a temporary campus in April last year with 120 students. Its strength has since increased to around 360 and is expected to reach 700-720 next year once the new building is completed.
