  Re: Interesting findings by the students of Xavier's College of Communication 
while interacting with Police Stations.
         Presentation on Wed,  April 01 between 11.00 a.m and 1.00 p.m at 
Xaviers Institute of Communication, 3rd Floor,  Xaviers College Campus
  -

  We invite you to listen to the interesting findings by mass communications 
students of Xaviers Institute of Communication following a learning visit to 
some of the Mumbai police stations: 

  Recently, we had addressed around 45 students on the subject of Police 
Reforms, accountability and functioning of the Police at a session. 
  Many of these students had never visited a police station before. As part of 
the follow-up to the session, the students volunteered to divide themselves 
into groups and visit the following police stations and meet police officials 
to discuss various concerns. 



  They came up with some very interesting findings: 




  1. Many of the Police personnel are often not aware which IPC sections to be 
applied to the type of crimes/. offences committed . Police also say that now 
there are more white collar crimes  and therefore many of them are not 
conversant with laws pertaining to such crimes.

  2. Very few police stations personnel have had re- fresher courses. They are 
also not aware of  changes like the new Maharashtra Police Amendment and 
Ordinance, Act 2014 or any other developments.

  3. They also suggested it would be useful if the Government or Social Sector 
sets up a Helpline which could be used by the police and citizens to discuss 
application of law for crimes etc.

  4.Students' suggestion to develop Good Policing concepts

  A panel of eminent judges will also listen and react to their presentations.

  Among those who have consented are : Mr. Sudhakar Suradkar, IGP,  IPS Retd, 
Mr. Vijaykumar Bandal , veteran journalist and Vice President of Mumbai Marathi 
Patrakar Sangh and Mr. Rajesh Seth, former President of the Rotary Club of 
Malabar Hill and Ms Anjali Pandit, Associate Director, NAGAR


  We invite members of the press to listen to the students share their findings 
and cover it in the media.
