The Ministry of Women and Child Development (WCD) at the Government of India is the central guiding force for the implementation of nation-wide schemes for women and children.

These schemes range from educating the girl child, to preventing human trafficking, and even the Mahila Police Volunteers–a scheme that I highly encourage all of you to participate in!

These are some of the most well-thought out and comprehensively implemented schemes in the world, and I say that not just as a police officer, but as a citizen of India. Many other agencies like the UN agree with that fact too. Please take a look below and volunteer wherever you can. Any great change can only happen when all of us participate together!
