Haryana leads justice reform through adopting cutting-edge technology, intensive capacity building

Haryana is setting a national benchmark in criminal justice reform through cutting-edge technology, enhanced forensic infrastructure, and intensive training under India’s new criminal laws.

A striking example of this transformation is a recent case in which a death sentence was delivered within just 140 days in the rape of a minor showcasing the state's commitment to fast, victim-centric justice.

Leading a comprehensive overhaul of policing, prosecution, investigation, and courtroom procedures, Haryana’s model has been praised for its “holistic and technology-driven” approach, according to Dr Sumita Misra, Additional Chief Secretary, Home Department.

Speaking to the media during her visit to a national forensic exhibition at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi, Dr Misra highlighted that the foundation of these reforms is a large-scale capacity-building initiative.

Over 54,000 police personnel have been trained in the provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA). The training focused not only on legal comprehension but also on victim-sensitive investigation, digital tools, and modern evidence management.
