www.kiranbedi.com- First and Highest ranking Indian Woman internationally recognised, of Indian Police Service

Community Services

Kiran has often said, policing is also social service from a position of power. Crime prevention has always been a priority in all her postings, and she, despite her demanding official work, has initiated a large amount of voluntary service in various fields of social development, which have a direct bearing on crime prevention and crime correction. She set up Navjyoti in 1986 for working in the field of drug abuse treatment and rehabilitation. Navjyoti has till now treated over 12,000 drug addicts. It is on special consultative status with Economic and Social Council of the United Nations. The program, run by a team of dedicated professionals and volunteers, has recently received the United Nations Serge Sotiroff Memorial award in 1999, chosen from over a hundred worldwide nominations. Navjyoti is a pioneer in India in its holistic treatment module.

After the receipt of the Ramon Magsaysay Award in 1994 Kiran set up India Vision Foundation to work in the field of prison reforms, crime prevention, education, rural development. A great deal of work has been accomplished in the field of children’s education through its projects. Children of prisoners are educated under the ‘Crime Home Children’ project and children in slums who are otherwise beggars, rag pickers, gamblers and drug peddlers have schools at their doorsteps in the ‘Gali School’ project, (gali = street in Hindi). The motive has been to Save the Next Victim, while rehabilitating the present one.
