- "Meri Suraksha, Meri Zimmedari". The programme has been organised by the Sports, Physical Education, Fitness and Leisure Skills Council (SPEFL-SC) and has witnessed the participation of more than 50 women. Mission Karmayogi' by Shri Narendra Modi is a one of a kind initiative that focuses on the capacity building while
modernizing the thinking and the approach of the government employees.
This self-defence programme has been designed by SPEFL-SC based on the world’s
best fighting systems like Krav Maga, Kali, Silat, Wing Chun and others. The
instructors are experts in teaching the world’s best techniques along with situational
awareness. These techniques have been designed by combat experts with 15 years of
experience, and are easy to learn and execute under threat.
While explaining the importance of such workshops,
Shri Rajesh Aggarwal, Secretary, Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship,
said , “Women’s safety is the government’s top priority, and with this self-defence programme, we
hope to encourage women to enroll in such training modules to protect themselves
from any kind of assault or threat. The ministry is committed to establishing platforms
where women can learn how to defend themselves from self defence experts.
Furthermore, it is critical to create a safer environment for women in order to ensure
the safety and integrity of the country’s female workforce, and this is a small step in
the right direction. We hope this pilot is a successful one and we are able to take these
sessions to other ministries, departments, schools and organisations in a more
structured and outcome based workshop.
”Commenting on the initiative, Mr Tahsin Zahid, CEO, Sports, Physical
Education, Fitness & Leisure Skills Council, said, “A safer environment for women
is the need of the hour, initiatives like these are the step in the right direction. Self-
defence should be encouraged among women to ensure that they are self-reliant when
it comes to defending themselves in an event of a threat.”
One of the women employees, expressed her gratitude for the workshop “Self-
defence skills are vital for everyone, especially for working women like us. Knowing
that we have the capacity to defend ourselves makes us feel secure and self-reliant. It
has been an enriching experience for all of us.”
On the backdrop of an increase in crime against women, learning self-defence skills is
the need of the hour for women to safeguard themselves. Being cautious is the key to
being safe. Learning self-defence techniques will help women in becoming more
aware, cautious and equipped in times of danger against these criminals. It
will also help in mitigating the number of crimes against women.
The training programme is aimed at equipping women with a safeguard mechanism to
tackle threatening situations. The goal is to empower and enable them to protect
themselves against real-life scenarios such as sexual assaults, kidnapping,
molestation, bullying etc. The participants in the self defence programme are being
taught to tackle multiple assault situations, especially mugging. Moreover, women are
also being trained to counter knife and pistol-driven attacks with day-to-day objects
that could be used as weapons against a potential killer. Furthermore, the training also
includes tips on the defence against slaps, punches, street smartness and the usage of
the Nirbhaya Self Defence Kit.
The training programme was inaugurated by Shri Rajesh Aggarwal, Secretary, MSDE
in the presence of Ms Anuradha Vemuri, Joint Secretary, MSDE, Shri Atul Kumar
Tiwari, Additional Secretary, MSDE, Ms Prabha Sharma, Under Secretary, MSDE
and Shri Tahsin Zahid, CEO, Sports, Physical Education, Fitness & Leisure Skills
Council (SPEFL-SC)
With initiatives like these, MSDE is actively progressing towards creating a safer
work environment for women. Additionally, to equip the participants with safety gear,
the Nirbhaya Self Defence Kit will also be distributed to all participants along with
the participation certificate.
