On 9th October 2019, the students of St. Columba’s visited the National Police Memorial in Chanakyapuri.
The museum had beautifully showcased the history, artefacts, uniform and gear of central and state police forces. Some other items that were put on display included pieces on women in policing, news clippings of historical significance, old police communication and wireless equipment, flying squads and police medals and decorations.
A dedicated staff was deployed at the museum to take the visitors around and undertake audio-visual tours. The place also celebrated the bravery of martyrs by inscribing their names on a stone pillar. Later a documentary was shown to the students which highlighted the life of a policeman.
It was an educational experience for the students as they learnt not just about the technical details of the profession but also the sacrifice and hard work involved in it.
