On the lines of National Cadet Corps (NCC), the Haryana government will launch a Student Police Cadet (SPC) project across the State. Around 6,000 school students will take an oath of responsibility in the presence of Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh at a function in Gurugram on July 21.

“This project aims at inculcating civic consciousness, social commitment and a sense of purpose among students, besides inspiring them to fight against social evils. It will also encourage them to develop love for nature, uphold values, maintaining discipline and respect for law and order thereby contributing in nation building”, a state government spokesperson said.
