Dr. Bedi suggested that these hubs should also be the source of content / material for e-learning. She said that the police have a crucial role in society, which can make India a better place to live in.
The Bureau of Police Training & Development (BPR&D), under the Ministry of Home Affairs, is the apex body at the national level to promote excellence and best values in policing.
The objective of BPR&D is to equip the Indian Police to meet the challenges of the increasing diversity of crimes on the one hand and the rising public expectations on the other. This is sought to be achieved through training, research and modernisation of the police forces.
Senior officers from MHA, representatives from state government and UTs, IITs, IIMs and National Law Universities were also present on the occasion.
