Smiling Uniforms

It is rare to see a smiling, calm and an energetic policeman (women included) on the streets of India. But, for the citizens of the far northeastern state of Arunachal Pradesh, this won’t be a rare scenario. Being a policeman, is not an easy job. There are prejudices about the men and women in uniform. Often, they are the topic of unpleasant conversations. Even though it is a government job, with lifelong pension, it is quite a frenzied one. Erratic working hours, unethical practices, constant demand from the public, pressure ‘from the top,’ lack of appreciation and recognition, and unsupportive infrastructure builds up to the stress and frustration. To top it, they face the ire of the public and the media, if something goes wrong in maintaining law and order. Stress is the core reason for unethical practices by the police. Recognising this fact, Ms. Rama Tewari, an Art of Living Faculty, with the strong initiative of ‘Anugrah Shiksha Seva Sangh’(ASSET), SP Isaac Pertin, (Lohit district) and PS Lod Tari, (Mahadevpur), conducted a series of ‘Stress Management Programs’ for the police personnel, in November 2011. A team from ASSET, had met with the Home Commissioner Tajom Taloh, and the DGP (West) Robin Hibu, and briefed them on The Art of Living’s Stress Management Programs. It was understood that the program would be of great help to the state’s police personnel, whose jobs have become tougher in the face of rising law and order problems. Read more.........
