In a remarkable highlight, 107 students who resumed their education through Kanniyakumari Police’s “Nimir (The Rising Team)” initiative have achieved noteworthy scores in the Class XII public examination result, which was released on May 8 (Friday).

Kanniyakumari District Superintendent of Police (SP) R. Stain had launched an initiative called “Nimir (The Rising Team),” in all five police sub-divisions of the district, with the aim of preventing crime against women and children. The teams led by women police officers and constables, also engaged in providing career guidance and counselling to school going students.

Under this initiative, details of the vulnerable children, such children without parental support, affected by substance abuse and the students, who had discontinued their education due to various reasons were collected and successfully re-enrolled and continuously monitored.

In the academic year 2025-2026, over 100 Class XII students were rescued by these teams. Most of the students were undergoing a tough time in continuing their education due to family and societal challenges. Of them 107 students passed the public examination, with some students securing over 80%.

S. Subin, a student of Government Higher Secondary School in Agasteeswaram, secured 572 marks. He said that the “Nimir” helped him in continuing his education, while he was undergoing a difficult situation due to family and financial issues.

He added that he wishes to pursue engineering, noting that the “Nimir” has assured him to help in counselling and other processes to continue higher education.

A woman police officer, part of “Nimir” in Colachel sub division, said that the team had helped 46 students to continue their education and of them only around five could not succeed in the public examination.

She added, “I have been in the service for the past 15 years and the public examination results of each student brought heartfelt satisfaction and joy.”

Mr. Stalin told The Hindu that most of the students rescued by the team have single parent support, with many lacking guidance. He added the details of the vulnerable children were collected and continuously monitored to pursue their education.

“Many passed students did not even appear for the half yearly examination and within three months they were moulded and provided with all kinds of support, to pass the public examination,” he noted.

Mr. Stalin further said that women police were continuously providing counselling for these students, stating the team would ensure that all the students were enrolled in higher education.

The SP also felicitated students and had an interaction with them about their future plans.
