Gandhinagar, Monday: Minister of State for Home
Affairs of Gujarat Mr. Pradeepsinh Jadeja thanked Prime Minister Mr. Narendra
Modi and Union Minister of Home Affairs Mr. Amit Shah for their efforts to
grant the status of national importance to Gujarat Forensic Sciences
University.
Mr. Jadeja said, “Prime
Minister of India Mr. Narendra Modi had established the Gujarat Forensic
Sciences University during his days as the Chief Minister of Gujarat to promote
Forensic Sciences in India and the world. Further, the aim was to fill the
shortage of experts in this field. The university, since then, has progressed
leaps and bounds.”
The Lok Sabha approved the
bill, presented by Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Mr. G. Kishan
Reddy, to grant GFSU the status of national importance. The university will now be known as the
National Forensic Sciences University, fully funded by the Central Government.
The campus at Gandhinagar will be its main campus.
Mr. Jadeja added that the
state government under Chief Minister Mr. Vijay Rupani has undertaken a number
of initiatives to ensure the safety of the people. The university will play an
important role for new research and development in security and its related
areas for India and the world.
The status of national importance will enable various experts of the said field
to reap benefits of the research facilities and technology at the university.
The university specialises in
research and consultancy in forensic sciences and its related fields like
cyber-crime, digital forensics, behavioural science etc. The university, within
its short span of 10 years, has trained more than 10,000 police officers,
experts of forensic sciences, people in security, etc from India and the world.
GFSU has signed MOUs with 58
countries for facilitating research, training and establishment of
laboratories. The university has also received proposals to establish off-shore
campuses in various countries like Myanmar, Trinidad & Tobago, Uganda,
Rwanda, Maldives, Zimbabwe, Bangladesh. The university will now be able to
establish its campuses in India and the world. It will also enable the
university to avail various consultancy projects, and research grants from
various national and international organisations in a hassle-free manner.
Above all, it will highlight
Gujarat on the global map for research and development in the field of forensic
sciences.
