In a significant step towards students empowerment and safety and in line with the vision of Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy for the youth in the State, Hyderabad police in collaboration with the State government, educational institutions, and civil society partners, launched a safety club initiative at AV College here on Monday.
The program aims to create a student-led culture of awareness, resilience, and responsibility in schools and colleges, focusing on safety across four key areas - physical safety, cyber safety, substance abuse prevention, and mental health and emotional
well-being.
Speaking on the occasion, K Shilpavalli, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Central Zone, stated that the safety club represents the focus on proactive, preventive community engagement by Hyderabad police under the leadership of Hyderabad Police Commissioner CV Anand.
“This program is not about policing young people – it’s about empowering them. It's about creating an environment where students feel safe, supported, and strong – physically, emotionally, and digitally. This club gives them the tools to respond, report, and resist. Our role is not just to protect, but to prepare,” she said.
