CRPF DG Gyanendra Pratap Singh at IIM Rohtak: When Gyanendra Pratap Singh, Director General of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), took the stage at IIM Rohtak’s 17th Foundation Day, his message was straightforward and inspiring: Youth are the future of India, and if their power is used positively, they can completely change the course of the country. Singh spoke to more than 1,500 students of the college and connected individual traits like honesty, trust, and responsibility with national missions like Atmanirbhar Bharat and even the big idea of a “Viksit Bharat 2047.” His speech at an esteemed management institute event is being quoted in a variety of national media channels.
CRPF DG Gyanendra Pratap Singh At IIM Rohtak
Due to its youthful population, India is considered to be one of the largest economies of the future. This demographic dividend can only be an accelerator of development if education, employment, and civic engagement are at the same level. Otherwise, it may become a source of instability. A senior security official publicly acknowledging youth power is a sign that the priorities of national security and development are shifting from bunkers and borders to classrooms, colleges, workplaces, and values. Singh’s focus on respect for teachers, parents, and peers, as well as the marginalized groups, makes it clear that social integration is at the core of sustainable development.
What did Singh ask the Youth to Do?
Singh also urged students to channel their energies into productive enterprises like entrepreneurship, skill-building, public service, and ethical leadership, besides not limiting themselves to broad slogans. He described these initiatives as the direct contributors of Atmanirbhar Bharat, a government policy to promote self-reliance in manufacturing, technology and services.
He said that IIM Rohtak has emerged as one of the country’s leading management institutions and that its students will play a crucial role in realising the Prime Minister’s vision of a “Viksit Bharat 2047.”
Singh connected campus learning with national goals, thereby presenting a realistic plan: develop skills, use integrity as a leadership virtue, and then employ those skills for the betterment of society. (This talk is consistent with Singh’s previous public statements, where he advocates education and jobs over violence.)
Who is Gyanendra Pratap Singh?
One way of figuring out the importance of a message is to know the person who delivers it. Gyanendra Pratap Singh is an IPS officer of the 1991 batch from the Assam-Meghalaya cadre. He became DG of the CRPF in early 2025. His journey includes internal security, counter-insurgency, and institutional leadership roles, which explain his conviction that secure societies are the ones that have youth who are empowered, engaged, and employable.
When security leaders, such as him, openly support education and civic participation thereby security is no longer a mere issue of military and political stability but also includes social and economic resilience.
