Delhi Police Commissioner Anurag Kumar on Saturday felicitated 16 students for developing technology-driven policing solutions under the Delhi Police Summer Internship Programme 2026. The programme, which began on June 8, drew over 400 applications from leading institutions including IIT Delhi, Delhi Technological University, and Jamia Hamdard.
Times Now News reports that after a selection process, 16 students were mentored by the police's Tech and Project Implementation Division to build four functional software solutions. These solutions aim to improve administrative efficiency, streamline internal processes, and enhance citizen services. The commissioner presented certificates and souvenirs at the Police Headquarters ceremony.
The Delhi Police internship programme is a rare example of a government force actively seeking tech solutions from young minds. It refutes the usual lazy narrative that law enforcement is only reactive or hostile to innovation. The real test now is whether these four software tools actually get deployed in daily policing. If they do, it will prove that structured collaboration between academia and the police can work. If not, it will be just another photo-op.
