There is a saying "where there is a will, there is a way." Whenever such sayings are put into practice in any appropriate form these become an example for others to emulate. I will share with you one such story which proves this.

In 1987, fourteen serving police officers - and I was one of them - of Delhi Police, came together and registered a non-governmental organization called NAVJYOTI - Delhi Police Foundation. It was set up to prevent crime through methods of prevention, correction, treatment, rehabilitation and social development. ‘Navjyoti’ means ‘New Light’ in Hindi and this name was given to the project to provide new hope in the lives of the drug addicts we wanted to help.
