Addressing women police personnel, he urged them to engage with women in Jammu and Kashmir to prevent youngsters from taking the "wrong path". He said the humane side of the police emerged during the Covid crisis.

Responding to a woman probationer, Modi heaped praise on the people of Kashmir, saying they are 'lovely' people and have special ability to learn new things.

"I am very connected to them. They treat you with so much love...All of us have to work together to stop children from taking a wrong direction," he said.

"And, this can be done by our women police officers. They can help educate mothers. I am confident if they do that, in the initial stage itself we can prevent our children from taking the wrong path," Modi said.

To manage stress, the Prime Minister advised them to practise yoga and pranayama.

Meanwhile, Union Home Minister Amit Shah greeted the IPS trainees. He said he was confident that they would inspire youngsters to join the police force.

"My best wishes to all young IPS trainees on their Dikshant Parade. May they serve the nation with utmost dedication while ensuring its security and integrity. I am confident that their commitment towards service will inspire our youngsters to join the Indian Police Service," the Home Minister tweeted. The Prime Minister also stressed on constabulary intelligence for effective policing. The police need to train people to see how technology can be used in a positive way.
