In order to help the police officers to deal with their hectic schedules and onerous workload, Amity Business School (ABS) organized a workshop for more than 200 police officers from Meerut range today on “Stress Management for Police Officers” at Amity University, Noida. This initiative by ABS aimed towards training and strengthening the stress management ability of Police Officers and deliberating on strategies to make their stressful life balanced and happy.
During the workshop higher police officers including Mr. Ajay Anand, IPS, ADG/Agra Zone, Mr. Ram Kumar, IPS, IG/Meerut Range, Mr. Vaibhav Krishna, SSP, Gautam Budh Nagar amongst others were also present during the inaugural ceremony of the workshop.
Professor Dr. Sanjeev Bansal, Director-General, ABS expressed his gratitude to the police officers for being present on the occasion and attending the workshop. He assured that the techniques demonstrated in the workshop would help them in their daily lives. Talking about stress he said that it is a very common phenomenon. He said that people often tend to forget that even police officers are normal human beings therefore every citizen needs to pay due respect to them.
Expressing his views over the matter, Mr. Ajay Anand, IPS, ADG/Agra Zone, told the police officers that stress in an inevitable part of life and how we deal with it tells a lot about our characters. He said that if we, as responsible police officers keep on getting bothered by small things it would become very difficult not only for us but the people to deal with problems. He said that police officers, in the contemporary scenario also play the role of social workers. People have very high expectations from them that’s why they also face lots of criticism as well. He encouraged the police officers by saying that they should feel proud about the noble job they are doing by curbing crime and helping people.
Padma Shri Yoga Guru Bharat Bhushan Ji taught the police officers about the various techniques and methods that they can use to cope up with stress and tension. Talking about the benefits of meditation, he said that by practicing meditation and yoga everyday we can reduce our stress levels remarkably.
A Nukad Natak was also performed by the students of Amity to demonstrate the respectable and responsible job done by the police. Other sessions like “Prevention of Stress : Psychologist’s view” by Dr. Harminder Kaur Gujral, Professor, ABS; “Insight on Stress Management : Author’s Perspective” by Mr. Harsh Jaitli, CEO, Voluntary Action Network India and a stress measurement activity were also conducted to lighten the stress and brighten the lives of the police officers.
