Bihar is preparing to launch its first National Forensic Science University (NFSU) campus in Patna, with classes expected to begin in July. Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Kumar Choudhary announced that the university will provide specialized education and research opportunities in forensic science, a crucial field for criminal investigations and legal processes. NFSU, which has 16 campuses across India, is unique as it focuses exclusively on forensic studies. Currently, India faces a significant backlog of 60,000 to 80,000 forensic reports, largely due to a shortage of skilled staff, with 40-49% of scientific positions in Forensic Science Laboratories remaining unfilled. The establishment of this university aims to address these challenges by offering advanced training and modern facilities, thus enabling students to pursue careers in forensic analysis and related fields.
