Safe City Project : MHA

The Centre proposes to launch a Rs 2,000 crore project to make six big cities, including the national capital, safe. Besides Delhi, the other cities under the project are Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Bangalore and Hyderabad .

Under its flagship 'Safe City' Project, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has asked these major cities to focus on Technological Advancement rather than recruitment of manpower. The present form of policing is dependent more on manpower and less on tech

Another suggestion made by the MHA is to impart safety education to children on the lines of western countries. It would be ideal if different boards of education at the Centre and states could be impressed upon to include a chapter on basic concept of community safety and security, community policing, response on emergency situations in the school curriculum.

The project will also focus on attitudinal change in policemen through soft skills training.

Setting up of  Fusion Centre  on the lines of western countries — where details like Pan Card number, vehicle registration number, Unique Identification number of suspects will be stored and can be accessed by the police — is another ambitious aspect of the project .

Over all , The Safe city Project will include technical & non-technical aspect . Technical part will include - CCTV Surveillance, Command Control Center ,Dial 100 System  , Fusion Center / Data Center , Highway Patrol Cars , Aerial Surveillance  ( UAV / Helicopters etc ) while Non-Technical Part will include - Community Policing  , Reaching out through Educational System  ,Training in Soft Skill / Attitudinal Change in Police Men & Women Police .
