National Forensic Infrastructure Enhancement Scheme
Context
The Union Cabinet recently approved the National Forensic Infrastructure Enhancement Scheme (NFIES) to bolster scientific investigations across India and improve conviction rates in criminal cases.
About NFIES
- Duration: 2024-25 to 2028-29
- Aim: to address the pressing need for enhanced forensic capabilities in the country.
- The NFIES seeks to establish campuses of the National Forensic Sciences University (NFSU) across various locations in India.
- Additionally, it aims to augment the infrastructure of existing Central Forensic Science Laboratories and NFSU in Delhi.
- This initiative is crucial, especially with the implementation of new criminal laws from July 1, which mandate forensic investigations for offenses carrying sentences of seven years or more.
- Need of the Scheme: There is currently a significant shortage of trained forensic professionals in these labs, making the establishment of new campuses and laboratories imperative for efficient and timely criminal investigations.
