    About

    Mr. Jain is the Senior Superintendent of Police within India’s National Police Service. He supervises the Investigation Division in India’s National Human Rights Commission, studies human rights violation reports, and trains law enforcement officers on human rights issues. Until last year, he was the Deputy Commissioner of Police in the Delhi Police. He received an honors degree in Commerce from Delhi University, a Master’s degree in Police Management from Osmania University, and a certificate from the Indira Gandhi National Open University. As a British Chevening Scholar, he studied in the London School of Economics and Political Science in 2009. During his fellowship at the University of Minnesota, he plans to design a workable model for a ‘gender inclusive city’ that will aim to reduce crime against women in rapidly growing cities through studying international practices and initiatives that mobilize public authorities, NGOs, and the community to create a safe, non-discriminatory environment for women to gain equal footing with men. He also plans to implement similar initiatives to help overcome the gender-related human rights problems.
