The Director General of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), Shri G.P. Singh, visited the Group Centre (GC) Humhama in Srinagar, where he commended the efforts of the CRPF Family Welfare Association (CWA) and the Montessori school in promoting family welfare and child development.

Highlighting the crucial link between family support and operational efficiency, DG Singh stated that empowered families are the backbone of a motivated and mission-ready force. The President of CWA, Dr. Anamika Singh, was also present during the interaction.

During the visit, DG Singh addressed a Sainik Sammelan, engaging in a heartfelt interaction with officers and jawans. He focused on operational preparedness, administrative efficiency, and troop welfare, emphasizing the importance of daily routines that foster physical fitness, positivity, and overall well-being within the force.

The event underscored CRPF’s commitment to maintaining a high level of readiness, particularly in a region like Jammu & Kashmir, where personnel often face challenging and prolonged deployments.

The CWA, originally established as the CRPF Wives’ Welfare Association in 1995 under the Societies Registration Act, has been instrumental in supporting the families of CRPF personnel. As a non-profit organization, it provides welfare initiatives such as family welfare centers, free school bus facilities, and awareness campaigns, including a 24-hour toll-free helpline for issues like HIV/AIDS, drug abuse, and welfare schemes.

These efforts aim to empower families, enhance self-reliance, and address the challenges faced by those separated from their loved ones due to operational duties.

The visit also highlighted the role of the Montessori school at GC Humhama in supporting the education and development of CRPF personnel’s children, further strengthening the force’s family-rooted foundation.

The event concluded with a renewed focus on balancing operational demands with the well-being of the force, aligning with CRPF’s motto of “Nation First.”

This visit follows DG Singh’s recent engagements in other conflict-prone regions, such as his February 2025 visit to Sukma’s Naxal-affected area, where he similarly evaluated troop preparedness and operational strategies.

The CRPF continues to prioritize both the welfare of its personnel and their families while ensuring mission readiness in some of the country’s most challenging terrains.
