NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF CRIMINOLOGY & FORENSIC SCIENCE

The National Institute of Criminology and Forensic Science - NICFS (formerly the ‘Institute of Criminology and Forensic Science’) came into existence on 4th January, 1972 on the recommendations of a Committee appointed by the University Grants Commission to look into the applied aspects of education, training and research in the fields of Criminology and Forensic Science to commensurate with the growing needs of the country in general and the Criminal Justice System in India in particular.  In September, 1976, the Institute was constituted as a separate department under the Ministry of Home Affairs headed by a full time Director. Over the years, the Institute has grown from strength to strength and has developed as a unique Institution, which trains, in one place, the higher level functionaries of the entire criminal justice system, i.e. the Judiciary, the Police, the Correctional Services, Directorate of Prosecution etc., not only from within the country but also from abroad.  It was renamed as the National Institute of Criminology and Forensic Science on 5th March, 1991.  Its emblem is crested with Ashoka lion pillar in gold supported by a nine pointed blue star which has a yellow bordered red circle bearing the acronym LNJN NICFS circled by the name of the organisation and ‘Bharat Sarkar’ in Devanagari encompassing a circle of dark blue colour. Motto of the institution is inscribed in Devanagari in red set in white banner with black border below the crest and the name in English in red is written below.
