Forensic investigation becomes mandatory for all criminal cases with a punishment of 7 years or more. This will integrate forensic investigation with the justice system, creating a demand for 10000 trained forensic and legal experts every year for the next 7 - 9 years. Coupled with the recent news that India is all set to establish a national cybersecurity agency, this is great news for NFSU and its graduates.
This explains why state NLUs are lining up to sign MOUs with NFSU, and starting to offer courses covering forensic science (e.g., WBNUJS' School of Forensic Science and the new BSc-LLB and MSc programs). Others include NLUD, HPNLU, MNLUM, and MNLUA's MA in Law and Forensic Science. NFSU is the bellwether.
NFSU is also in the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) headed by the PM. Its reports are acceptable (as evidence) in a court of law, the only educational institute in the country to have the privilege. It is also a designated examiner of digital evidence and a 5G Use Case lab. The dots are connecting nicely, each amplifying the impact of the other and raising the entire ecosystem.
