Telangana Director General of Police (DGP) CV Anand has directed the officials to speed up the construction of the Young India Police School (YIPS) at Manchirevula (Ranga Reddy) and develop it into a model educational institution for the country.
The YIPS offers 50 percent of seats to the children of police personnel, and the rest to the public.
IPS Officers’ Wives Association pitches in
On Tuesday, DGP Anand, accompanied by President of IPSOWA (IPS Officers’ Wives Association), Lalita Anand, and other committee members, reviewed the progress of the school and assessed the status of infrastructure development and other key initiatives. The IPSOWA has also vowed to support the project.
During the review, the committee discussed the progress of the school buildings, academic plans, the proposed curriculum and infrastructure requirements. Pending proposals, bills and development works were examined, and necessary approvals were accorded.
Earlier, DGP Anand played football with the students, and watched their demonstrations of archery, fencing and other activities, and commended them for their enthusiasm.
A model school with a focus on morals
Mr. Anand said the school had been established by the Telangana government and the state police department to provide world-class education to the children of police personnel, police martyrs and members of the public.
Stressing the importance of holistic education, he said the institution should nurture discipline, moral values, patriotism, service-mindedness and responsible citizenship among students.
Mr. Anand called for a focus on value-based education and character building, and hoped the school would produce citizens with a strong moral constitution.
Expressing concern over the increasing influence of drug abuse and other harmful habits among youngsters, DGP Anand said the school should maintain the highest standards of discipline and values-based education. ‘This institution should produce responsible citizens with strong moral character and a deep sense of commitment to society and the nation,’ he said.
Telangana’s top cop also advised senior police officers to visit the school regularly and mentor students in leadership, discipline, patriotism and public service.
A new initiative
The Young India Police School, which commenced operations last year with an initial batch of 125 students, now has a total enrolment of 345 students up to Class VI for the 2026–27 academic year.
