His inspiring presence gave the ceremony a distinct national significance and infused the newly inducted personnel with enthusiasm, confidence, and a renewed commitment to duty. Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, senior police and administrative officers, and other distinguished guests were also present, further enhancing the dignity of the event.
Haryana Director General of Police O.P. Singh conducted the parade inspection for the Union Home Minister and briefed him on the training modules and activities undertaken by the recruits. The oath-taking ceremony was administered by Dr Arshinder Singh Chawla, Director of the Haryana Police Academy, Madhuban.
Welcoming Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini said that his presence had made the occasion historic and provided fresh inspiration to the police personnel for national service. He described the day as a celebration of national service, dedication to duty, and patriotism, adding that it was a proud moment not only for the newly trained personnel but also for their parents and the people of Haryana. With 5,061 recruits, this passing out parade is the largest of its kind in the country to date.
The Chief Minister stated that under the guidance of Prime Minister Sh Narendra Modi and the leadership of Union Home Minister Sh Amit Shah, India’s internal security framework has been strengthened like never before. Decisive action against terrorism, a firm crackdown on Naxalism, and strengthened border security, he said, are outcomes of strong political will and visionary leadership.
He said that “security, good governance, and sensitivity” are no longer mere slogans but have become an integral part of administrative culture. The integration of technology, modern training methods, and a humane approach has set new benchmarks for law and order. Zero tolerance towards crime and respect for citizens, he said, are becoming defining features of the Haryana Police.
The Chief Minister informed that the new recruits have received specialized training in the three new criminal laws, cybercrime investigation, and cybersecurity. He expressed pride that Haryana is among the leading states in the country to implement these laws within a short timeframe. Highlighting the drug-free Haryana campaign, he said the role of the Haryana Police is crucial, and the 5,061 recruits graduating today will serve as “brand ambassadors” in spreading awareness and a positive message against drug abuse across society.
Recalling Haryana’s legacy of bravery and dedication to duty, the Chief Minister said this tradition is reflected in the excellence of the Haryana Police, which is counted among the country’s leading police forces. He also said that on February 14, 2023, the Haryana Police was awarded the prestigious ‘President’s Colour’ in Karnal, recognizing the force’s outstanding service to the nation.
Addressing the gathering, the Chief Minister said that on the auspicious occasion of the birth anniversary of former Prime Minister of India and Bharat Ratna, late Sh Atal Bihari Vajpayee, the disciplined and dedicated personnel of the Haryana Police conveyed an inspiring message of service, commitment, and national spirit by participating in the Atal Jan Seva Marathon.
He informed that at the time of the formation of the government in 2014, women police personnel constituted only 3 percent of the Haryana Police force. Through sustained efforts and strong policy decisions, this figure has increased to 15 percent by 2024. Recalling the commitment made in the election manifesto during the previous Assembly elections, the Chief Minister said the state government had pledged to further enhance women’s representation in the police force as part of its focus on women’s empowerment. Continuing in this direction, he informed that the state government will soon recruit 6,000 new police personnel, ensuring the appointment of approximately 1,500 women police personnel. He said this initiative would mark a significant milestone in making the Haryana Police more inclusive, empowered, and sensitive to the needs of society.
The Chief Minister extended his best wishes to the newly trained recruits for a bright future marked by courage, integrity, and exemplary service to the nation. He congratulated all officials and instructors for their dedication and tireless efforts in training the batch and expressed his sincere gratitude to the Union Home Minister for gracing the occasion.
In this batch, women trainees distinguished themselves through exceptional dedication, discipline, and outstanding performance. Nishu from Jind secured the first position as the overall topper, while Mohit from Gurugram secured the second position. Manjeet Chahal from Hisar secured the third position and also won the Best Outdoor Trophy, setting a remarkable example of excellence. These achievements highlight the strong participation of women, equal opportunities, and growing leadership capabilities within the Haryana Police. Rubal from Sonipat secured the fourth position, and Amit Kumar from Kurukshetra secured the fifth position.
Recruit Basic Course Batch No. 93 stands as a powerful symbol of the Haryana Police’s efficiency, discipline, and unwavering commitment to public service.
