Post Ryan killing, 14 schools approach CISF for security audit

PTI, NEW DELHI: Fourteen schools have approached the CISF to get a professional security audit done of their premises and effectively secure students, a development that has come in the wake of killing of a boy in a Gurgaon school recently. 

   The paramilitary force, that works under the command of the union home ministry, had sometime back written to schools across the country extending services of its special consultancy wing that provides security suggestions to organisations and agencies.

"Till date, 14 schools from all parts of the country have requested the CISF to provide consultancy service to strengthen their security apparatus for safety and protection of school children," CISF spokesperson Assistant Inspector General (AIG) Hemendra Singh said. 

"Expert teams of the consultancy wing will soon visit these schools and prepare a professional security blue print for them," Singh said. The CISF security consultancy wing was raised in 1999 and till now it has provided its expert advise to over 150 organisations or institutions including IITs, IIMs, RBI and the National Police Academy in Hyderabad among others.

The wing also posted its best result this year as it earned Rs 2.54 crore revenue as government fee for providing these services.

"There has been noticeable surge in revenue earned through consultancy fee in the last four years.

"Average annual revenue earning till 2013 since inception was Rs 20 lakh whereas in last four years the wing has earned revenue of Rs 7.06 crore. This makes the average annual revenue for the last four years to Rs 1.77 crore," Singh said.
