Discussing his journey from being a police officer to a politician, the first-time MLA said empowering people has been his aim.

Empowering Women Through Skill Development

Talking about women's empowerment in his constituency, the former Enforcement Directorate (ED) officer said he established 170 women's centres named 'Tara Shakti Kendras' where over 2,000 sewing machines were provided to skill women and offer them self-employment opportunities. Simran Sahni, the Chairperson of Lucknow FICCI FLO (FICCI Ladies Organisation), declared that the organisation will collaborate with the MLA to train 100 women as 'drone pilots', which will connect them with new-age technology and emerging employment and entrepreneurship opportunities in the drone economy.

"Our objective must go beyond training women, we must convert their skills into income, enterprise and empowerment," Singh said. He added that he used the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) route to provide swings in 120 primary schools while sports resources were provided to over 200 girls' youth clubs. More than 1,000 meritorious girls have received laptops, computers, bicycles and other educational resources, Singh said.
