PROGRAM OBJECTIVE
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights directs the member nations to create such
conditions under which the ideals of free human beings, enjoying civil and political freedom
from fear and want, can be achieved. The Constitution of India, through its various articles,
strives to ensure security and safety of citizens in accordance with the principles of
Universal Declaration of Human Rights. However, crime is a violation of these principles.
In a country like India, where majority of population is uneducated, social set up is
heterogeneous, public-police relations are not very cordial, poverty is rampant and
unemployment widespread, it is not surprising that crime rate is increasing exponentially.
If we have to create conditions conducive to harmonious development, we must mitigate the
crime rate. This can best be achieved by relying on the support of forensic science system.
Unfortunately, in our country, forensic science is not viewed as a core investigative skill in
crime detection. In fact, there is a lack of understanding of the forensic process itself. In
majority of serious crime cases, hi-tech measures are being adopted by perpetrators of
crime. The counter measures have to be more sophisticated to surpass them.
This calls for strengthening the foundations of forensic science at national level.
Our mission as a Forensic science program is to develop professional, ethical graduates
whose competence in problem-solving, legal analysis and application, quantitative
reasoning, investigation and scientific laboratory procedures can be applied to immediate
employment or advanced study.
