New Delhi: The Centre has issued draft rules for the Rashtriya Raksha University Act 2020 enacted in the monsoon session of Parliament. Under the Act, a multi-disciplinary university for imparting education on policing, research and collaboration of various wings of policing, criminal justice system and correctional administration will be set up.
The Ministry of Home Affairs has invited suggestions and opinions from the public. The rules will be finalized after going through those suggestions.
The Rashtriya Raksha University in Gujarat will replace the state university, Raksha Shakti University.
As per draft rules, the vice-chancellor will suggest a panel of not less than five names, which will include one each for the post of chairperson and members of the governing body.
The term of office of non-ex-officio members of the governing body will be for a period of three years or till the time they hold the position by virtue of which they are appointed, whichever is earlier.
The term of office of other non-ex-officio members of governing body will also be for three years. The nominated member of the governing body will be eligible for re-nomination, as per the draft.
At present, there are very few institutions in the country which provide the environment, infrastructure and specialization for imparting education in police sciences and internal security to meet the demands of modern, citizen-centric policing.
Foreigners, Overseas Citizens of India cardholders, Non-Resident Indians, Indian origin people living in Gulf and South-East Asian countries can enroll in the university.
