**NEW DELHI -** In a proactive move to address the rising concern of juvenile delinquency, Delhi Police held a counseling session on Thursday for families of children who have dropped out of school. The initiative, conducted in collaboration with the Department of Social Sciences at Dr Shyama Prasad Mukherjee College, aims to reintegrate these vulnerable youths into the education system and steer them away from potential criminal activities.

According to a police officer, the session saw the participation of families representing 52 school dropouts. The program is a key component of a wider campaign to reach out to over 2,700 children who have left school. Reasons for dropping out varied, ranging from migration and financial difficulties to a lack of explanation from families.

“Many children dropped out due to migration or financial constraints, while some families offered no specific reason for not continuing their children’s education,” the officer stated.

Early indications suggest the initiative is yielding positive results, with over 300 children and their families indicating a willingness to return to school. This collaborative effort between law enforcement and academia underscores a commitment to addressing the root causes of juvenile delinquency and building a brighter future for Delhi’s youth.
