Rajasthan Police inducted 438 women constables into its ranks on Monday, 5 October 2026, as the passing-out parade for Batch 102 of newly trained personnel was held at the Rajasthan Police Academy in Jaipur. The recruits, drawn from cities, villages and remote hamlets across the state, took a formal oath to serve the nation and the public, marking the beginning of their active service.

The Ceremony

The parade was led by Parade Commander Priyanka Beniwal and inspected by Chief Guest Rajiv Kumar Sharma, Director General of Police (DGP), Rajasthan. As the contingent of women constables marched past the dais, family members in the audience gallery responded with tears of joy, while fellow police personnel welcomed the recruits with a salute. The formal oath was administered by Sanjib Kumar Narzary, Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) and Director of the Rajasthan Police Academy.

What the DGP Said

Addressing the new constables, DGP Sharma urged them to regard the police uniform not merely as a symbol of the force, but as 'a symbol of service to society and the nation.' He emphasised that the passing-out ceremony was not the end of training, but 'a new beginning of service, dedication, discipline and responsibility.' Sharma also encouraged the recruits to remember the pride on their families' faces whenever they felt fatigued or disheartened in the line of duty, calling it a source of strength and inspiration.

New Training Syllabus and Digital Policing

The DGP noted that training at the academy was conducted in line with the new Model Syllabus of the Ministry of Home Affairs, designed to make police personnel more sensitive, responsive and accountable to public expectations. He urged the newly inducted constables to study the new criminal laws thoroughly and make maximum use of digital evidence in day-to-day policing, which, he said, would help accelerate investigations and facilitate speedier disposal of cases.

Emerging Challenges Flagged

Sharma highlighted several challenges confronting the force, including drug trafficking, cross-border smuggling via drones, illegal arms trafficking, organised crime, and the spread of fake news and deepfakes through social media. He stressed that public trust remained the police force's greatest asset in confronting these threats. Rajasthan Police, he noted, has been consistently taking strong action against drug trafficking, examination paper leaks and organised crime syndicates.

Women in Policing: The Kalika Unit Cited

Referring to the success of the Kalika Unit — a women-centric policing initiative — the DGP said the growing participation of women in the police force had strengthened law and order, intelligence gathering and community policing. He added that the presence of women police personnel had fostered greater trust among vulnerable sections of society, particularly women and children. Sharma also directed that police stations be developed as 'service centres' rather than mere administrative offices, with priority given to senior citizens, persons with disabilities, economically disadvantaged individuals and women. The Rajasthan Police Academy team was also commended for the successful conduct of the training programme.
