Madhya Pradesh Police Adds Bhagavad Gita Recitals to Training Curriculum

Bhopal, November 7, 2025 – Following the implementation of Ramcharitmanas recitals, the Madhya Pradesh Police training wing has now mandated Bhagavad Gita recital sessions for all recruits across its eight training centers. The directive, issued by Additional Director General of Police (Training) Raja Babu Singh, affects approximately 4,000 constables currently undergoing a nine-month training program that started in July.

According to ADG Singh, the aim is to instill discipline and a righteous way of life in the young officers. Singh directed training school directors to, if possible, incorporate the reading of at least one chapter of the Bhagavad Gita during the ongoing holy month of Lord Krishna (Agahan Krishna), preceding their daily meditation sessions.

“Bhagavad Gita is our eternal scripture,” Singh stated in his message to the training schools. “Its regular reading will definitely guide our trainees to lead a righteous life, and their life will get better.”

Singh has previously demonstrated his belief in the scripture’s positive influence. While serving as the Gwalior range police head around 2019, he initiated a similar campaign and distributed copies of the Bhagavad Gita to inmates and others.

The new initiative follows a similar program introduced in July where trainees were instructed to participate in Ramcharitmanas recitals.
