The Bhajan Lal Sharma-led BJP government has instituted a special award—the Chief Minister Seva Medal—for police officers and employees who have made outstanding achievements and rendered meritorious services.

This state-level award will be presented for the first time this year to selected police personnel for their dedicated, valiant, and distinguished service, an official spokesman said. The award will be presented to the winners on Rajasthan Police Raising Day every year, the spokesman added.

The medal-winning officers include IPS officers such as ADGP (Civil Rights) Malini Agrawal, Inspector General (Vigilance) Prafull Kumar, Deputy Inspector General (Police Training) Preeti Chandra, and Deputy Police Commissioner (Jaipur North) Rashi Dogra Dudi.
