Mahila Police Volunteer
Mahila Police Volunteer was created by the Union Ministry of Women & Child Development and is a cooperative project with the Union Ministry of Home Affairs. The Mahila Police Volunteers programme aims to establish a connection between the local people in villages and the police authorities through police volunteers who will be women specifically trained for this role. Their main responsibility will be to monitor instances in which women in the community are harassed, denied their rights and entitlements, or whose growth is impeded. In the fiscal year 2016–2017, Haryana is the first state to undertake the programme at Karnal and Mahindergarh District on a pilot basis. Additionally, the plans for the implementation of MPVs from Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Mizoram, Chhattisgarh, Karnataka, and Madhya Pradesh have also been approved.
