Probationers of the Indian Police Service call on the President

Probationers of the Indian Police Service 78 RR (2025 batch) called on the President of India, Smt Droupadi Murmu at Rashtrapati Bhavan today (November 10, 2026).

Addressing the probationers, the President said that for the citizens, police officers and constables are symbols of governance. People perceive the governance to be good when the police system functions well. People feel immensely supported when a police officer listens to their grievances with sensitivity and attentiveness. She urged the IPS officers to prioritise alleviating the fears of socially or economically weaker individuals who generally lack access to senior officials, and addressing their grievances.

The President stated that some of the employees in the system may be more proficient in the use of technology than the senior officers. She advised the officer trainees to not hesitate to learn even from the most junior members of their team. She urged them to encourage public participation and teamwork in their working style. She said that by prioritising the welfare of their team members, they will enhance their capabilities and enthusiasm. (updated on 10th Nov 2026)
