On Thursday, 15 October 2026, Ashirwad Nursing & Paramedical College, Chhitauna (Jalalpur), Jaunpur, organised a Women Empowerment and Women Safety Awareness Programme for its students. The aim was simple but important: to make our students aware of women’s safety, their legal rights and the help that is available to them whenever they need it.
Police officers guide our students
The programme was graced by the Circle Officer (CO) Jaunpur, the Station House Officer (SHO) of Jalalpur police station, women constables and other police officers. During the session, the officers spoke to students about women’s safety, their legal rights and the support services available, and explained the steps to take in the event of any untoward incident.
The officers encouraged students to stay alert, to be aware of their rights, and to seek police help through the proper channels without hesitation in any situation of violence, harassment or insecurity.
UP Police “Mission Shakti” public-awareness posters were also displayed in the hall, with the emergency helpline numbers 112 (Police), 1090 (Women Helpline) and 1098 (Child Helpline).
Students speak up with confidence
The most inspiring part of the programme came when students of our Nursing, B.Ed and D.El.Ed courses put their questions to the police officers without any hesitation. Some students also shared incidents they had experienced themselves. The officers listened to them with seriousness and sensitivity and offered appropriate guidance, which helped build students’ trust in the police and conveyed a positive message about safety and awareness.
The message: respect, equality and freedom
Through the programme, students received a clear message that women’s empowerment is not only a matter for women. It means ensuring respect, equal opportunity and the right to live freely, and building a sense of respect, equality and a safe environment for women across society. It is a message our future nurses and teachers can carry to the families and communities they serve.
