Where There Is a Will There Is a Way: The Navjyoti Model of Collaboration between Police and Mothers in Delhi

At the Regional IAVE Conference in India early in 2002, Dr. Kiran Bedi, the first and highest ranking woman in the Indian Police Services, shared some of her experiences in helping the poor of Delhi.

It was set up to prevent crime through methods of prevention, correction, treatment, rehabilitation and social development."
