He suggested to the recruited youth to give gifts to their parents as a part of their first month's salary, something to the places of worship like Namghar with their second month's salary and give something to the schools they took education from with the help of their third-month salary while requesting the youth selected in the police department to be sympathetic to the weaker sections of the society.
