ADDITIONAL DIRECTOR GENERAL OF POLICE

"Unleashing Infinite Potential, One Life at a Time"

In his life, P. Vijayan exemplifies his name, which translates to “Winner” in Malayalam. His journey embodies a powerful belief: “Every child is born with the potential to be a Da Vinci or Newton.” Driven by this conviction, he stands as a beacon for those who wish to explore and unlock their inner potential. His life story resonates as a living testament to the idea that personal growth and self-discovery set individuals apart, making a difference in the world.

As the very name ‘Vijayan’ (‘Winner’ in Malayalam) suggests, he is a man who believes in victory over oneself. His inspiring life itself is a testimonial to his philosophy that ‘’Every child has the potential to become a Da Vinci or Isaac Newton at birth, but it’s the exploration of the inner potential in his journey of life that sets him apart’’. He believes that the best school to learn is life itself, which he calls ‘’the university of adversity’’. A champion of Infinite Human Potential, he has exemplified in himself the true qualities of a quintessential seeker and ‘unleasher’ of latent human potential.

"Transforming Policing: From Enforcement to Empowerment"

Redefining the role of a police officer, P. Vijayan has brought a transformative approach to policing, demonstrating that law enforcement is not just about reacting to crime but also about creating safer communities through “pre-emptive policing.” By addressing root causes and eliminating potential threats before they arise, he has set a new standard in policing. His innovative methods have taken police work to a higher orbit, making a lasting impact on the safety and well-being of society.

He is the one who took policing to a higher orbit by redefining the role of a quintessential police officer. There is much more to do than just law enforcement and crime prevention. A proper officer has to engage in pre-emptive policing to remove potential crime by its root from the society and assist in maintaining the welfare of the citizens through monitoring community health and safety issues by intervening on a social level. His philosophy of bringing this change is pivoted on capability exploration and potential unleashing.

"Igniting Dreams, Unlocking Potential, Transforming Tomorrow"

P. Vijayan is not only an officer but also a visionary and changemaker who deeply believes in the power of dreams and potentiality. His guiding philosophy is that every dream begins with a vision for a better world. By nurturing big ideas and motivating others to pursue them, he embodies the spirit of transformative leadership. His vision inspires individuals and communities alike, fueling the drive to create lasting, meaningful change and empower the next generation of leaders.

As a visionary, he believes in the power of dreams. According to him, potentiality is the greatest possibility. Every dream begins with an idea, a strong desire for something better and larger than life. Dreams have the power to propel you in a specific direction and motivate you to become the changemaker you want to be. Dreams transform your actions, help you explore your potential, lift your life and gift you a better tomorrow. Dreams put you on a pursuit to impart a greater meaning to life. His pragmatic philosophy based on ‘positivity and potentiality’ has opened up numerous avenues for impactful social interventions. In 2014 he was chosen for the CNN- IBN Indian of the Year Award.
