CAPSI transforming unemployed tribal girls into trained security professionals

The Jharkhand Chapter of CAPSI in association with Bhutpurva Sainik Kalyan Sangh is providing professional security training and employment opportunities to tribal girls under the Jharkhand Skill Development Mission Society (JSDMS).

Approximately 500 girls have already got the employment after completing the 3-month training oriented programme in the last 5 years, and a majority of them hail from Naxal afflicted areas. The Government of Jharkhand is financing this project.

After completing a 3-month course, including the training, students get a certificate by the Government of India, on the basis of which they are eligible to apply for a job in the private security industry which requires a certified private security professional.

There are 3 training centers where CAPSI is helping to run this course; 2 for boys and 1 for girls in Jharkhand’s Gumla and Ranchi regions.

Kunwar Vikram Singh, the National Chairman, CAPSI, said, “In an environment where women are not only economically backward but also the victim of Naxal aggression on a regular basis, empowering the women through financial stability and physical security is the need of the hour. I am very much happy that despite societal restrictions and challenges, girls are coming forward to change their fortune, and their presence is continuously increasing at the training centres.”
