MP Police Trainees to Recite Ramcharitmanas During Training
New police officers in Madhya Pradesh, India, are now asked to read from the Ramcharitmanas, a religious text, during their training.
This is to help them focus on training.
The head of training used the story of Lord Ram's exile as an example of dedication to their work.
Many new recruits wanted to change their training location to be closer to home, but the training head wanted them to stay.
They are expected to read from the book every night as part of their training routine.
The training includes reciting verses from the Ramcharitmanas.
Madhya Pradesh police recruits will recite the Ramcharitmanas during their training.
The decision affects newly recruited constables across eight police training schools.
ADG (Training) Raja Babu Singh cited Lord Ram's exile as a lesson in dedication.
The recruits were asked to recite one or two chapters of Ramcharitmanas daily.
Recruits had applied for PTS changes, which ADG Singh dissuaded.
