NEW DELHI: The final phase of the I Lead India Youth Brigade selections got underway on Tuesday with 12 candidates participating in a discussion on women's safety in Delhi. The event saw the young participants coming up with several suggestions to make women feel safe in the city.

The topic was 'How can you, as a Youth Brigade member, make Delhi safer for women?' Most of the participants agreed that the key issue was changing the mindset of the people. Some emphasized the importance of technology and infrastructural changes to improve security. "CCTVs should be installed at vulnerable spots. About 70% of Delhi's 3 lakh streetlights don't work. It's a safety concern," said Mahima Sharma, one of the candidates who took part in the discussion at Faculty of Management Studies. The others participants were Aastha Narayan, Divish Gupta, Drishti Pillai, Manan Batra, Palak Chhabra, Rashi Kakkar, Riddhi Kalsi, Sanket Kshatriya, Shashank Gandhi, Utkarsh Rastogi, and Yashika Thaper. A total of 16 candidates have been shortlisted, out of which five will make it to Delhi's Youth Brigade.

Another issue that was highlighted was the lack of safe transport for women. It was stressed that police need to be sensitized about women's safety — there should be regular background checks of the staff of public transport vehicles, and curbs on buying of dangerous chemicals like acid. It was also pointed out that Delhi is not the only city considered unsafe . "A woman is always vulnerable, be it in Delhi, Kolkata or Mumbai," said Palak Chabbra.

The judges were Jyoti Sarwal, founder of Amba Foundation, and Sanjiv Kaura, CEO, corporate social responsibility, BCCL.
