PRIME Minister Narendra Modi will attend the 60th All India Conference of Director Generals and Inspector Generals of Police at the Indian Institute of Management (IIM), Nava Raipur Atal Nagar, Chhattisgarh, on November 29 and 30. The three-day conference, from November 28 to 30, aims to assess progress in tackling major policing challenges and to chart a forward-looking roadmap for a ‘Surakshit Bharat’ aligned with the national vision of ‘Viksit Bharat’.

 

The event is themed ‘Viksit Bharat: Security Dimensions’. Key issues on the agenda include Left Wing E x t r e m i s m , counter-terrorism, disaster management, women’s safety, and the use of forensic science and artificial intelligence in policing. During the conference, the Prime Minister will also present the President’s Police Medals for Distinguished Service.

 

The conference provides a vital platform for senior police officials and security administrators nationwide to exchange views on national security concerns. Discussions will focus on operational, infrastructural, and welfare challenges faced by police forces, alongside sharing best practices for crime control, law and order maintenance, and internal security responses.

 

Since 2014, under the Prime Minister’s guidance, the conference format has evolved, with venues rotating across the country including Guwahati, Rann of Kachchh, Hyderabad, Tekanpur, Kevadiya, Pune, Lucknow, New Delhi, Jaipur, and Bhubaneswar. This year, continuing the tradition, event will take place in Raipur. The conference will be attended by Union Home Minister Amit Shah, National Security Adviser Ajit Doval, Ministers of State for Home Affairs Nityanand Rai and Bandi Sanjay Kumar, Directors General of Police from States and UTs, and heads of central police organisations.

 

To foster innovation, senior Home Department officials and select police officers at DIG and SP ranks will also participate physically. This annual event encourages frank discussions and interaction with the Prime Minister through business sessions, breakout groups, and thematic dining table talks, aiming to introduce fresh ideas to strengthen India’s internal security framework.
