Student police cadet camp in Bengaluru

Home Minister G Parameshwara said on Wednesday that Student Police Cadet (SPC) camps should be held in government schools across the state to enhance overall development of students.

Speaking at the SPC annual camp inauguration function in the City, he said: “I feel that the youth are losing values because of modernisation. The training programme under SPC will enhance the overall development of students.”

He added that the government explore the ways to introduce the SPC in all the government and aided schools across the state in phased manner. Cadets from government schools in Kodagu, Shivamogga, Mysuru and Bengaluru  participated in the three-day camp.

He said that  people have stopped extending help to those in distress. People stage protests to demand their fundamental rights but they corner the fundamental duties.

Speaking on the occasion, Satyamurthy, commissioner, public instruction, expressed the department’s willingness to introduce the SPC in over 48,000 government schools in the state.
