About Mission Mukti
In the heart of every thriving city lies a profound responsibility—not merely to uphold law and order, but to extend compassion to those most vulnerable and voiceless. With this guiding principle, Nagpur City Police launched Mission Mukti—a focused, multi-agency initiative aimed at rescuing, rehabilitating, and restoring dignity to homeless and mentally ill individuals living on our streets.
Mission Mukti was conceived with a singular purpose: to make Nagpur a beggar-free and humane city through coordinated action and compassionate intervention. It reflects a vital shift in modern policing—from enforcement to engagement, from control to care.
"No one deserves to be forgotten, no matter how lost or broken they may appear."

"Mission Mukti is more than a mission—it is a movement. It is Nagpur’s collective conscience taking action, demonstrating the profound impact of empathy and coordinated effort."
"For those of us in uniform, this is a powerful reminder that beyond the badge lies the true call of service: to uplift, protect, and restore humanity."
