Initiatives and Reforms

Harish Meena reformed the recruitment process of Police Constables in Rajasthan by making it more objective and transparent. In a bid to minimize corruption and biases, he completely removed written tests involving subjective answers, observation based physical examinations and personal interviews. Consequentially, Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) based written tests and objective physical examinations were introduced. The latter required each candidate to run 10 km in 60 minutes to qualify. To completely eradicate the scope of manipulation, a GPS chip was attached on the leg of the candidate. There was widespread criticism and skepticism towards this change. However to demonstrate the feasibility of the new physical tests, Mr. Meena himself started running in all recruitment centers. He completed the 10 km run within 48 minutes in Kota,[4] 12 minutes ahead of the qualifying time. This recruitment pattern was also emulated by various states, Para Military and Armed Forces. As a break from the convention, police recruitment process during Harish Meena’s tenure as DGP was never challenged in court.

Harish Meena also focused on improving the track record of Rajasthan police in matters pertaining to human rights. He passed a standing order that stated that the whole police station would be liable to face a punishment posting if there was any death in the custody including suicide. A new post for Addl. Director General was created to overlook a cell that specially monitored crimes against the vulnerable sections of the society which included schedule tribes, schedule castes, women and children.

He also set up 3 independent institutions; Police University (Sardar Patel Police University 2012), Training Institute for Rajasthan Police Intelligence Branch and Commando Training Institute. Village Guard System was introduced in rural area. Police housing Scheme was accelerated and Police Housing Corporation was created. Police Commissionerate System was introduced for the first time in Rajasthan in Jaipur and Jodhpur. Separate wings of law-order and investigation were introduced.
