PM Modi To Lead All India DGP Conference in Jaipur
Prime Minister Modi spearheads a dynamic Security Conference addressing the nation’s law enforcement challenges.
From cyber threats to counterterrorism, the stage is set for collaborative strategies at the forefront of India’s security landscape.
In a significant gathering set against Jaipur’s cultural richness, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is poised to headline a 3-day annual conference of top police officials, commencing tomorrow.
The conference, a cornerstone in India’s law enforcement calendar, is expected to delve into pressing issues such as artificial intelligence challenges, cybersecurity threats, counter-terrorism strategies, and the battle against narcotics smuggling.
This 58th all-India annual conference of Directors Generals and Inspector Generals of Police is being hosted outside the customary Delhi setting, this time in the Pink City.
The move is seen as an initiative to decentralize such crucial meetings and draw attention to diverse regional challenges.
The comprehensive agenda includes deliberations on the implementation of newly enacted criminal laws, which have replaced age-old legal frameworks such as the Indian Penal Code, Criminal Police Code, and The Evidence Act.
The discussions aim to align law enforcement practices with the evolving landscape of crime and justice.
Notable figures attending the conference include Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Union Ministers of State for Home, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, Union Home Secretary Ajay Kumar Bhalla, along with the Directors Generals and Inspector Generals of Police representing states and union territories.
The collaborative effort of these key players is anticipated to foster a comprehensive approach to addressing the nation’s security concerns.
The event will also serve as a platform to review the progress on issues highlighted in the preceding year’s discussions.
The last such conference, held in Agartala, underscored the imperative for enhanced coordination between state police forces and central agencies, particularly in the northeastern region.
The unique format of the conference this year accommodates approximately 100 physical attendees, ensuring a limited yet impactful gathering.
Additionally, close to 600 officers of varying ranks will be virtually present, joining the discussions from their respective locations.
Since 2014, the PM has attended all sessions of the DGP conference organized by the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Intelligence Bureau, encouraging free and informal conversations. The top brass of the police have convened outside of Delhi.
- The meeting was held in Guwahati in 2014,
- Rann Rann of Kutch in 2015,
- National Police Academy in Hyderabad in 2016,
- BSF academy in Tekanpur in 2017,
- Pune in 2019 and virtually during the Covid epidemic, only to reconvene in Lucknow in a hybrid mode.
- January 20-22, 2023…
This hybrid approach aims to facilitate broader participation and inclusivity in the dialogue on critical law enforcement and national security matters.
As the nation eagerly anticipates the outcomes of this symposium, it remains clear that the discussions and decisions emanating from the Pink City will shape the trajectory of India’s approach to contemporary security challenges.
The Jaipur conference is not just a meeting; it is a strategic convergence of minds, a collective effort to fortify the nation’s safety in the face of evolving threats.
