Union Home Minister Amit Shah lays stone of forensic science University

Union Home Minister Amit Shah called upon the young generation to contribute towards making India the number one country in the world by 2027.
Speaking at the Platinum Jubilee celebrations of BV Bhoomaraddi College of Engineering and Technology in Hubballi today, he said along with career growth, the youth must set a goal to make contributions to the growth of India.
The Union Home Minister said that the credit for starting the Forensic Science Department in our country goes to former Union Home Minister Shri Lal Krishna Advani.
In 2002, Shri Advani established the Directorate of Forensic Science Services and focused on this subject. Shri Shah said that at the same time, Shri Narendra Modi became the Chief Minister of Gujarat and took the initiative to establish the best forensic science lab in the world.
He said that when this idea was taken forward, there was a huge shortage of experts in this subject. He said if forensic science experts are not available, then the contribution of forensic science to the criminal justice system cannot be realized.
At that time, Shri Modi decided to set up Gujarat Forensic Science University in Gujarat, to facilitate education in the field of forensic science for children directly after Class -12^th.
Shri Amit Shah said that after Shri Narendra Modi became the Prime Minister, the idea of making this university at the national level came to the front.
