The Union Minister of Electronics & Information Technology and Law & Justice, Shri Ravi Shankar Prasad inaugurated the National Conference for Young SPs of States/UTs and Commandants of CAPFs on Aug 1, 2017.
The two-day Conference is being organised by Bureau of Police Research & Development (BPR&D), Ministry of Home Affairs.
The young officers must be aware of the transformation taking place in India.
The schemes and initiatives of the Government are framed in such a manner that citizens are empowered to lead a better quality of life.
The Ministry highlighted about ’Digital India’ programme and said that the aim of the programme is to bridge the digital divide and the focus is more towards poor sections of society.
The digital empowerment is not sufficient, unless there is digital inclusion.
Technology should be affordable, inclusive and development oriented, he added.
Using social media and training of officers in cyber security must be given utmost priority.
During the conference, the Minister also released a book titled ‘National Police Research Repository’.
This is for the first time that such a conference is being held.
For effective policing, the police and CAPFs must make good use of two partners, citizens and technology.
From DG level to beat constables, the concept of taking community along, is being followed.

There were also three presentations were given to showcase the use of best practices in policing by using technology.
