In an effort to strengthen children’s safety and responsible citizenship in schools, the Cyberabad Police in collaboration with Cyberabad Society Safety Council (SCSC) and Sankalp, a non-profit organization, on Saturday (November 22, 2025) launched ‘Suraksha Kavach’ safety clubs in more than 30 SSC schools under the Serilingampally Schools Association.
Safety Clubs are designed as structured student- and teacher-led platforms that promote physical safety, cyber awareness, mental health, road safety, civics and substance abuse prevention. Students will participate in activities, workshops, competitions and community programs using the Suraksha Kavach School Safety Handbook developed by SCSC and its partners.
Cyberabad Joint Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Gajarao Bhupal formally launched the initiative and addressed school leaders, teachers and students, emphasizing the need to build a culture of safety, awareness and collective responsibility in educational institutions. He emphasized that school safety cannot rest on the police alone and called for greater collaboration between schools, families, civil society and industry.
Sankalp officials said the clubs need to grow into active forums where students learn to transition from bystanders to bystanders, report concerns, and practice responsible behavior online and offline. After launching in 30 schools, officials hope to create a model cluster of safe schools in Serilingampally, with plans to expand the initiative across Cyberabad in the coming months.
