Hyderabad: The 77th batch of Indian Police Service (IPS) officers passed out with pride and purpose from the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Police Academy (SVPNPA) in Hyderabad on Friday.
The Passing Out Parade (Dikshant Parade) was graced by Director General of the Border Security Force (BSF), Daljit Singh Chaudhary, an IPS officer of 1990 batch from UP cadre, as the chief guest.
In an impassioned address to the 190 IPS probationers, Chaudhary emphasized the growing responsibilities of the Indian Police Service in today’s complex security environment, highlighting threats ranging from terrorism and drug trafficking to cybercrime and financial fraud.
“Uphold Human Rights, Constitution, and Equality”: Chaudhary’s Call to Cadets
Calling upon the new officers to serve with fairness, compassion, and integrity, DG Chaudhary said,
“Treat both the rich and the poor with equal respect. Upholding human rights is as important as fighting crime.”
He reminded the officers that police stations are the first point of contact for citizens and must remain centers of trust and justice.
Stressing constitutional values, he urged them to implement the new criminal laws firmly and justly, adding:
“You are not just IPS officers, you are guardians of the poor and the oppressed. Let your policing reflect the spirit of the Constitution.”
Police Must Stay Grounded Despite Tech Advancement
While acknowledging the role of modern technology in policing, Chaudhary made it clear that ground-level fieldwork remains irreplaceable:
“Don’t rely solely on technology. True policing is tested on the ground – in real situations with real people.”
He lauded the recent ‘Operation Sindoor’, a coordinated action involving police and armed forces, as a prime example of effective fieldwork and cooperation.
Fitness, Courage, and Dedication: Key to Modern Policing
Underlining the importance of physical fitness, the BSF chief encouraged the young officers to maintain a high standard of personal health:
“Only a physically fit officer can serve effectively. Policing is demanding, and your strength—both physical and moral—is your asset.”
He urged the cadets to be courageous in the face of daily field-level challenges, from violent crime and social unrest to the rising dangers of digital crime networks.
