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.
