Addressing a rally in South West Delhi's Dwarka in presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Bedi said women's security was "very high" on her agenda and that she has already discussed the issue with civil defence personnel.
"I have already talked to civil defence people. More than 3000 people are ready take to the streets to provide security to women. The numbers are going to rise," she said.
Issuing a stern warning to those indulging in eve teasing, Bedi said those found guilty of it will be punished.
"I am warning that if anybody does eve teasing, he will be caught. We have to work along with the police. I have already given 'Kiran's blueprint'. Women's security will be taken up seriously," she said.
"Jhuggis do not have vocational training or polytechnics ... We will give it to them," she said.
Urging Prime Minister Narendra Modi to provide "youth trains", Bedi said that during summer vacations youths can go on "Bharat Darshan" and visit the North East region.
She said that if voted to power, children will be connected to social services like running literacy campaigns in slums.
"During summer vacations, those children who remain in Delhi, we will connect them to social services. Where there is illiteracy in jhuggis, those children will take part in literacy campaign. We will make such provisions so that children who take part in this get extra marks," the chief ministerial nominee said.
She said government colleges or buildings will not be closed in the afternoons as they will be utilised as polytechnics or management schools as per the needs of the area.
