New Delhi : Union Minister of State for Home Nityanand Rai on February 25, 2022, released books published by the Bureau of Police Research and Development (BPR&D) in New Delhi.
Special Secretary (Internal Security) in the Ministry of Home Affairs V S Kaumudi and Director General of BPR&D Balaji Srivastava, along with several senior officials of the Ministry of Home Affairs and Police were also present on the occasion.
Rai, in his address, said that BPR&D is committed to ensure their capacity building to meet emerging challenges before police forces. He said that the Government under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has approved continuation of the Umbrella Scheme of Modernisation of Police Forces with a total central financial outlay of Rs 26,275 crore for the period 2021-22 to 2025-26. This continues the initiative of the Union Home Minister Amit Shah for modernisation and improvement of the functioning of the police forces of the States and Union Territories. He said that this will help in strengthening the criminal justice system by developing law and order, internal security, police adopting modern technology, drug control, and developing a strong forensic system in the country.
Union Minister Rai said the BPR&D is an important organisation of the Ministry of Home Affairs and an essential requirement of the Indian Police Forces. The Bureau has recently completed 51 years of its committed service to the Nation in promoting best practices and standards in policing.
He said that the Director General of BPR&D has given a brief summary about all the six books released on February 25. Three of the six books released are being published by the Central Police Training Academy, Bhopal, which clearly strengthens our faith about our academies. The academy is doing remarkable work in imparting world class training and capacity building of law enforcement agencies.
Rai said that it is imperative for police forces to create public awareness about cyber crimes, but before that it is equally important to train our forces at the ground level so that they can play an active and effective role in the investigation of cyber crimes. He expressed confidence that publication of the book “Cyber Crime Se Parichay” in Hindi would serve its purpose in providing information and dissemination of knowledge about emerging cyber crimes, according to a PIB release.
