Delhi LG emphasizes comprehensive school safety approach
The Delhi Lieutenant Governor, T.S. Sandhu, recently spoke at a big meeting about making schools safer.
He said schools need to be safe not just from physical dangers but also from things like cyber threats and mental health issues.
He launched a special guide to help schools prepare for emergencies and stay safe.
He wants schools to regularly check their safety measures and work with the government and local communities to keep children safe.
He believes that technology can help, but people need to be ready and committed to making schools safe places for children to learn and grow.
Delhi L-G T.S. Sandhu emphasized the need for a comprehensive approach to school safety at the National Summit on Safe Schools Leadership 2026.
School safety extends beyond physical infrastructure to include cyber security, mental well-being, and disaster preparedness.
Sandhu launched the National Model School Safety Toolkit to institutionalize a culture of prevention and preparedness in schools.
He called for regular safety audits, emergency preparedness plans, and close coordination among schools, government agencies, and local communities.
Technology was highlighted as an enabler of safer schools, but it must be complemented by human preparedness and committed leadership.
