What does VDC mean in COMMITTEES

The Village Defense Committee (VDC) is an organization in India that provides security for rural and tribal communities. It is managed by local village leaders and works to protect their community from any external dangers or threats.

A VDC operates by deploying armed personnel in vulnerable areas, setting up checkpoints at entry points to monitor traffic, conducting regular patrols of areas where there have been incidents of crime, and providing training and seminars on safety measures to the community members.

To join a VDC, you must first contact your local village leader or go straight to the village's designated authority for this purpose. You must also meet certain criteria such as age, education level, experience, etc., which varies from state to state. Once you are accepted into a VDC, you will be assigned duties according to your skills and expertise.

The VDC provides training for its members on various topics related to security issues like weapon handling techniques, defensive tactics, surveillance technologies, crowd control strategies and more. In addition, they also offer workshops on leadership development and other life skills that can help empower members in their work with the community.

Depending on your skillset and experience, you can play a variety of roles within a VDC such as patrolling vulnerable areas with other members, monitoring access points in your community or providing training seminars on safety measures or other topics related to security concerns.
