Shah paid homage to the martyrs from the Security Forces who had laid down their lives in the service of the nation and commemorated their supreme sacrifice. The Union Home Minister highlighted that in 2023 the nation has entered the Amrit Kal and stressed upon two important developments viz. the formulation of New Education Policy and enactment of three new Criminal Laws replacing British era laws.
He mentioned that the new laws are focused on delivery of justice instead of punishment and implementation of these laws would transform our criminal justice system as most modern and scientific. The Union Home Minister stressed the need for training from SHO to DGP level and technology upgradation from Thana to PHQ level for successful implementation of new laws. UHM also stressed the need for linking of databases and adopting AI driven analytical approach for tackling the emerging security challenges.
He pointed out an overall improvement in the security scenario in the country since 2014 especially the reduction of violence in the three critical hotspots, i.e, Jammu & Kashmir, North-East and Left Wing Extremism. He observed that this conference over the years has emerged as a ‘Think Tank’, facilitating decision-making and formulation of new security strategies. He emphasized on uniformity of structures, size and skill of counter terror mechanisms across the country.
The Union Home Minister also highlighted the role of internal security in realizing the Prime Minister’s vision of India becoming a developed nation by 2047.
The Conference would deliberate on a range of security related issues of critical importance including security of borders, cyber-threats, radicalization, fraudulent issuance of identity documents and threats emerging from AI.
