Kerala’s successful Student Police Cadet (SPC) programme to be launched in Haryana in February

SPC programme is a highly successful programme of Kerala under which students are trained to know police from close quarters. Under this school based capacity development initiative, students are motivated to understand the importance of rule of law and its role in peace, development and sustained creation of new income and employment opportunities.

The SPC programme provides for a comprehensive development of the child, something on which the Centre has
been keenly focusing, an official said. He added that the programme inculcates values, skills, and attributes necessary to function as successful citizens in today’s fast-changing, globalising and competitive world. It would also help strengthen the Indian values of universal brotherhood, patriotism, truth, and the ability to place the community or the country’s interest above that of one’s own, the official said.
