Delhi Police Opens ‘Aarambh’ Creche to Support Children of Women Personnel

New Delhi: Delhi Police Commissioner Anurag Kumar inaugurated a modern childcare facility named ‘Aarambh – A New Beginning’ at Connaught Place Police Station on November 14, 2026, to support women police personnel in balancing their professional responsibilities and family commitments.

Launched by the New Delhi District Police, the creche is designed to provide a safe and child-friendly environment where the children of women personnel can stay while their mothers are on duty. The initiative aims to reduce concerns about childcare, allowing women officers to perform their responsibilities with greater focus and confidence.

What facilities will children get at Aarambh?

The creche has been designed according to the needs and age groups of children, with dedicated spaces for recreation, learning and rest.

A separate play area has been created with safe toys and play equipment. Children will also have access to indoor games, educational toys and learning materials to encourage early development.

The facility includes designated spaces for drawing, colouring, painting and other creative activities. A reading and study corner equipped with books and educational resources is intended to develop children's interest in learning and support their early intellectual growth.

Keeping the needs of younger children in mind, the creche also has a comfortable area for resting and sleeping. Special attention has been given to cleanliness, hygiene and maintaining a welcoming atmosphere so that children feel secure and comfortable.

A major support for women police personnel

Long working hours, emergency deployments and law-and-order responsibilities often make childcare difficult for women police personnel. The new facility is expected to provide meaningful support by ensuring that their children remain in a supervised and suitable environment during duty hours.

The initiative goes beyond setting up a childcare centre. It recognises the contribution of women personnel and the importance of providing workplace facilities that take their family responsibilities into account.

Delhi Police focuses on employee and family welfare

The launch of ‘Aarambh’ reflects Delhi Police's efforts to promote a more inclusive and family-friendly working environment. The initiative highlights the importance of employee welfare in building an effective and responsive police force.

New Delhi District DCP Sachin Sharma described the facility as a reflection of the department's commitment to the well-being of police personnel and their families.
