Nagpur: Mundle English Medium School recently hosted a crime awareness workshop aimed at sensitizing students on safety measures and fostering vigilance in light of rising urban crime rates.
Organised in collaboration with the city police department, the workshop featured Ravinder Singal, commissioner of police, as the chief guest and keynote speaker. Singal stressed the importance of community policing and the proactive role citizens must play in crime prevention. "Being aware, alert, and informed is the first step towards building a safer society," he remarked.
The interactive session covered a wide range of topics, including cyber safety, drug addiction, reporting suspicious activities, and understanding legal rights.
Head constable Atul Agarkar from the cyber crime unit gave an in-depth presentation on online safety, addressing threats such as identity theft, phishing scams, and social media fraud. He advised students to use strong passwords, enable two-factor authentication, and avoid sharing personal information online.
Students were also introduced to various emergency helpline numbers by the police team. In a gesture of gratitude and solidarity, students tied rakhis to police personnel. The school received a memento from Singal as a token of appreciation.
The programme was held under the guidance of chairman Makarand Pandharipande, secretary Nagesh Kanage, high school HM Manjul Mehta, primary HM Megha Padhye, and supervisor Shilpa Dongre.
