MP policeman starts classes for underprivileged students in police station
India Today
A Madhya Pradesh policeman has started teaching classes within a police station campus for underprivileged children.
A Madhya Pradesh policeman who formerly worked as a teacher has started a study centre-cum-library in a police station premises in a remote village in the state to provide free education to underprivileged children.
Sub-Inspector Bakhat Singh, aged 41, teaches children from Class 4 onwards every morning from 7 am to 10 am before donning his uniform and taking up his responsibilities as a policeman.
Further, he also teaches those who are aspiring to appear for various competitive and civil service exams.
He encourages the children to read books in the library he established at the police station in Brajpur village, which has a population of around 6,000 people and is around 40 kilometres from the district headquarters.
The sub-inspector was stuck with the idea of starting the 'Vidyadan' initiative after witnessing the illiteracy and poverty in the area, which is majorly populated by Dalits, tribals and OBCs who are employed as labourers in the nearby mines.
When the sub-inspector was asked by the news agency PTI if children feel scared about entering the police station campus, the former teacher replied that the police's aim is to instil fear among criminals and welcome good people.
