## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOME AFFAIRS (SHRI G. KISHAN REDDY)

(a) to (c) Yes, Sir. Ministry of Home Affairs has introduced a system for ranking of Police stations in 2018. It is a two stage process where 3 Police Stations from States having more than 750 police stations, 2 each from all other States and Delhi  and  1  each  from  Union  Territories  are  selected  from  more  than  15,000 Police  Stations  in  the  country  on  the  basis  of  rate  of  conviction  in  cases  of crimes  against  women,  crimes  against  SCs/STs  and  property  offences.  In  the second  stage,  performance  measurement  is  done  based  on  parameters  like crime  prevention  and  proactive  measures,  disposal  of  cases,  maintenance  of public  order,  infrastructure  assessment  and  citizens  feedback.  Personal  visits are made by the surveying team to the selected police stations for this purpose.
