Panchkula (Haryana) [India], Gandhinagar in Panchkula to build a center of excellence in the state.

Addressing him, Amit Shah said that in association with NFSU, work has been done to give a scientific basis to the current Haryana criminal justice system.

"Three British-era laws governed the Indian judicial system and were changed with the concept of speedy justice and justice for all. As part of these changes, forensic team visits have now been made mandatory for crimes carrying a sentence of seven years or more. This will increase the demand for forensic experts across the country, which NFSU will cater to," Shah said.

"Human resources must be created to implement these new criminal laws. It was with this approach that the National University of Forensic Sciences was carried out and at the same time these new laws were also formulated," he added.

The Minister of the Interior also mentioned that so far campuses of this university have been opened in 9 states and work will be done to bring this university to 16 states across the country.

"This would create skilled manpower and help accelerate the pace of solving crimes and improve the conviction rate," Amit Shah said.

He said this will not only result in trained human resources but will also be of great benefit in getting the new laws implemented at the grassroots level.

The Union Home Minister stated that having a laboratory, university and training institute on the same campus will greatly simplify both the instructor and the student.

"If a training institute is planned to be opened here, then the Government of India will provide good arrangements for training in forensic sciences at its own expense. The University of Forensic Sciences not only works to educate children and prepare skilled manpower, but also helps strengthen the forensic infrastructure," Shah added.

"This will help Police Sub Inspectors (PSI), Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) and Superintendent of Police (SP) officers and judges of Delhi, Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir," he said .
