This year, Kolkata Police’s Jai Ho was based on the theme—“Manusher Sathe” (With People). Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee was present at the function which was held on August 24 at Netaji Indoor Stadium.
It was after the change of guard in the state in 2011, Kolkata Police has been organising this programme, based on different themes, every year. “It may be recalled that the themes of the programme in 2016 and 2017 were “Safe Drive Save Life” and “Women Empowerment” respectively. It was in 2016 when the Chief Minister had launched the statewide—“Safe Drive Save Life”—campaign to bring down road accidents. Similarly, “Women Empowerment” was the theme in 2017 after the Chief Minister bagged the first prize in United Nations Public Service Award for the Asia Pacific in the Netherlands for Kanyashree Prakalpa.
