## ANSWER

MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOME AFFAIRS (SHRI HANSRAJ GANGARAM AHIR)

- (a) to (c): State/UT-wise cases  conviction rate of various cognizable crimes under Indian Penal Code (IPC) during 2014-2015 is at Annexure-I.

'Police' and 'Public Order' are State subjects under the seventh Schedule to  the  Constitution  of  India  and  therefore,  the  State  Governments  are primarily responsible for prevention, detection, registration and investigation  of  crime  and  for  prosecuting  the  criminals  through  the machinery of their law enforcement agencies.

(d): State-Wise  Year-Wise  release  of  funds  under  Crime  and  Criminal Tracking  Network  and  Systems  (CCTNS)  Project  to  the  States/UTs  is  at Annexure-II.

(e) to (g): The Government of India's CCTNS project is covering more than 15,000  police  stations  for  capturing  Crime  &  Criminal  Information.  This application will enable nation-wide search on crimes and criminals which will help in improving criminal justice system. Further, Union Government attaches  highest  importance  to  the  matter  of  prevention  of  crime  and therefore, has continued to urge to the State Governments/UT Administrations  to  give  more  focused  attention  towards  improving  the administration of criminal justice system and taking such measures as are necessary  for  prevention  and  control  of  crime.  In  this  regard,  various Advisories  relating  to  crime  against  women  and  children,    cyber  crime, human  trafficking,  mandatory  registration  of  FIRs,  improving  quality  of investigation etc, have been issued from time to time,  which are available in the Ministry of Home Affairs website viz www.mha.nic.in.
