ЁЯЪФ What if policing could prevent problems before they happen?
That is exactly what IPS officer Bhojram Patel is trying to achieve in Mungeli, Chhattisgarh. ЁЯЗоЁЯЗ│
A 2013-batch IPS officer, Mr Patel is leading "Pahal", an initiative built on a simple yet powerful belief:
тЬи "Problems are easier to prevent than to solve."
The campaign focuses on three critical issues affecting everyday lives:
ЁЯУ▒ Cyber Safety
ЁЯЪж Road Safety
ЁЯЪл Drug Abuse Prevention
But Pahal is much more than a police programme.
Schools, colleges, panchayats, women's self-help groups, public representatives, village Kotwars, and citizens have all become active partners in the mission.
ЁЯдЭ "I wanted it to become a public movement," says Mr Patel.
Through 148 WhatsApp groups, awareness messages reach communities daily. His message is clear:
ЁЯУ▓ "Anyone who owns a mobile phone is a cyber prahari."
One of the most remarkable outcomes came during the paddy procurement season. Police teams educated farmers about safe digital transactions.
тЬЕ Result: Not a single farmer lost even a single rupee to cyber fraud.
His people-centric approach has delivered results throughout his career.
ЁЯМЯ Weekly offs for police personnel in Korba
ЁЯМЯ "Siyan Mitan" support initiative for senior citizens during Covid in Gariaband
ЁЯМЯ Cyber awareness campaign reaching 20,000+ students in Mahasamund and earning recognition in the Golden Book of World Records
For Bhojram Patel, policing is not just about enforcing laws.
ЁЯТЩ It is about building trust, spreading awareness, and empowering communities to protect themselves.
