PM attends convocation of Gujarat Forensic Sciences University

Police, forensic science and judiciary are integral parts of criminal justice delivery system: Prime Minister

Greater technological intervention in forensic science can help tackle challenges of cyber security: PM Modi

In order to deal with rapidly changing crime scenario we have to develop newer techniques to make it clear that criminals will not be spared: PM

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, today attended the convocation ceremony of the Gujarat Forensic Sciences University.

He described the University and its students as pioneers. He appreciated the students for their persistence in selecting a stream that is conventionally believed to be unconventional, but is highly important for today’s age. He said that these traits of self-belief and determination will help the students in times to come.

The Prime Minister said that a strong forensic science setup, helps in ensuring civic safety, and curbing crime, much the same way as an efficient police force and an effective judiciary.

The Prime Minister said that it is important for a person to fear the possibility that he is very likely to be caught, if he commits a crime. This is where forensic science becomes important, the Prime Minister said.

He complimented GFSU for creating an international human resource pool in the fields of criminal investigation and justice delivery. He said the Gujarat Forensic Sciences University is playing a decisive role in global security, through its training and education.

The Prime Minister spoke at length about the challenge of cyber crime, and the importance of strengthening forensics and cyber forensic labs in this context. He also mentioned the importance of forensic science in the insurance industry.

He urged forensic experts to use DNA profiling to assist the judicial system, in bringing culprits to book. He expressed confidence that in the coming times, we will be able to deter heinous crimes, including the crimes committed on women.

He called upon the students to be at the centre of changing trends across the globe.

He exhorted them to drive some of the progressive changes that make our world a better place. He wished all the graduating students a bright and vibrant future.

It is a matter of pride that in a short time, GFSU has achieved such a bench-mark of academic excellence that the National Assessment and
Accreditation Council has awarded this University an ‘A’ Grade: PM

पुलिस, फोरेंसिक साइंस और ज्यूडिशियरी,

ये तीनों ही criminal justice delivery system के अभिन्न अंग होते हैं।

किसी भी देश में ये तीनों अंग जितने ज्यादा मजबूत होंगे, उतना ही वहां के नागरिक सुरक्षित रहेंगे और आपराधिक गतिविधियां नियंत्रण में रहेंगी: PM

इसी सोच के साथ बीते वर्षों में गुजरात में एक holistic अप्रोच के साथ इन तीनों स्तंभों को विकसित करने का कार्य शुरू हुआ था।

रक्षा शक्ति यूनिवर्सिटी, नैशनल लॉ यूनिवर्सिटी और फोरेंसिक साइंस यूनिवर्सिटी।

यानि एक तरह से कानून-व्यवस्था से जुड़ा complete package: PM

आज के बदलते समय में अपराधी अपने अपराध को छिपाने के लिए, बचने के लिए जिस तरह के तरीके अपना रहे हैं,

उस स्थिति में, ये उतना ही महत्वपूर्ण हो जाता है कि हर व्यक्ति को ये ऐहसास हो कि अगर वो कुछ गलत करेगा, तो पकड़ा जरूर जाएगा: PM

पकड़े जाने के भय की ये भावना, और अदालत में उसका अपराध साबित होने का डर,

अपराध को नियंत्रण में रखने में बहुत मददगार साबित होता है और

यहीं पर फॉरेन्सिक साइंस की भूमिका सबसे ज्यादा महत्वपूर्ण हो जाती है: PM

I call upon forensic experts to help the judicial system by using DNA profiling
as much as possible so that culprits get punished immediately and the victims get justice: PM

Looking at the importance of DNA technology in forensic investigation, our government has approved the DNA Technology (Use and Application) Regulation Bill 2018.

Through this bill, we will ensure that all DNA tests remain reliable and the data is safe: PM
