Key points to take note:
1. NFSU does not look for examples; it is an example.
2. The generous public funding that NFSU receives is more than justified.
3. NFSU is truly an Institution of National Importance, not just in label.
The House of Lords Science and Technology Committee has recommended the creation of a National Institute for Forensic Science to oversee best practice, drive research and development, preserve specialist skills, ensure independence of forensic evidence, and enhance justice delivery.

As they say, imitation is the best form of flattery.
First, the critical importance of forensic sciences in the modern-day legal domain cannot be overstated. There's no such thing as too much forensic science. Law without forensic science is like commerce without accounting.
Second, the proposed National Institute of Forensic Science in the UK shows how farsighted India has been in establishing the NFSU. So if anyone thinks that NFSU is competing with the NLUs, they must be delusional. NFSU's mandate and mission are much broader and critical to the country's legal ecosystem.
NFSU is so big that it will create its own legal ecosystem.
Remember, hum line me khade nahi hote. Hum jahan khade hote hai, wahin se line shuru hoti hai.
Assam gets a ₹300 crore science city, spearheaded by NFSU with its 50-acre campus.

This is called real funding. Not only does NFSU gets massive funding from the MHA, even the respective state governments are also pitching in. Love this.
Haters can continue to hate, but it makes no difference to NFSU. It forges ahead and even becomes an example for a developed country....Joh Jita Wohi Sikandar. UK, using India as an example, must be quite unsettling for all NLU students, as they are in the habit of going ga-ga over UK universities and scholarships. This is playing out in reverse.
