Beauty tips for police!

Professor M Zahidul Haque, Chairman, Department of Agricultural Extension & Information System SAU,
Recently a press report quoting BBC Online stated that a programme has been taken to make the new recruits in Bangladesh police smarter and fit to serve UN peace keeping missions in different parts of the world by providing instructions on beauty matters. One of the country's top beauticians has been given the responsibility of imparting lessons on grooming, personal hygiene, physical fitness, diet and dining etiquette to the newly recruited police officers, both male and female at Sharda Police Academy. A good move! This is a very new concept in our country. The beauty parlour business started in Bangladesh only some years back. Initially some popular TV personalities, one name I can recall at this moment, Anjali Mostafa who began her beauty parlour “Femina” to offer various beauty care services, of course for the ladies. Now there are beauty parlours even in the remotest areas of Bangladesh. Even some beauty parlours for gents have been established. Beauty parlours are also functioning as herbal care centres. Growth of beauty parlour has also created diversified use of agricultural crops - rice, pulses, vegetables, and fruits! Meanwhile offering beauty tips to police offices by beautician is a quite a new practice in this country. I think, such beauty instructions should also be provided to new recruits for similar other service personnel. This will not only make them more presentable and socialized but will also expand beauty parlour business. One thing, what about the police officers serving in the traffic section? Wouldn't it be justified to provide some “sun protection beauty tips” to traffic police personnel by expert beauticians on how to protect skin from the sun's ultra violet rays as these people perform their duties in a very stressful situation under direct sunlight round the day? To conclude, I think, a social-psychologist should also be hired to help develop a good personality.
