About the Solutions

Overview

A Indian police chief was so convinced of the benefits of meditation that he has introduced the option for his staff to take the time to train in the art with full pay and allowances. Daily yoga is also strongly encouraged.

Patel is responsible for 3,500 officers across six districts in the south of Gujarat – 175 of whom had taken up the offer by Nov 2014. Vipassana is the chosen school: an ancient technique originating from India which means “to see things as they really are”.

The challenge

Pacifying agressive police behaviour. Improving police-population relationships.

Voluntary yoga and meditation practices done by police officers help them become better focussed, less aggressive and more trusted by the population.
