## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOME AFFAIRS (SHRI BANDI SANJAY KUMAR)

(a) to (e): 'Police' and 'Public Order' are State subjects as per the Seventh Schedule  of  the  Constitution  of  India.  The  States/UTs  are  primarily responsible for the prevention, detection, investigation and prosecution of crimes  including  cyber  crime  through  their  Law  Enforcement  Agencies (LEAs). The Central Government  supplements  the  initiatives of the States/UTs  through  advisories  and  financial  assistance  under  various schemes for capacity building of their LEAs.

To strengthen the mechanism to deal with cyber crimes, including cyber crimes against women and children in a comprehensive and coordinated manner, the Central Government has taken steps which, inter-alia, include the following:

i. The Ministry of Home Affairs has released financial assistance under the 'Cyber Crime Prevention against Women and Children (CCPWC)' Scheme, to  the  States/UTs for their capacity building such as setting up of cyber forensic-cum-training  laboratories,  hiring  of  junior  cyber  consultants  and training of LEAs' personnel, public prosecutors and judicial officers. State -wise details  of  funds  released  to  the  States/UTs  up  to  31.03.2024  under CCPWC Scheme is at Annexure.

ii. Cyber Forensic-cum-Training Laboratories have been commissioned in 33 States/UTs namely Andhra Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Chhattisgarh,  Gujarat,  Haryana,  Himachal  Pradesh,  Kerala,  Karnataka, Madhya  Pradesh, Maharashtra, Mizoram, Odisha, Sikkim, Telangana, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Goa, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Dadra and Nagar Haveli  &  Daman  and  Diu,  Punjab,  Tripura,  Puducherry,  Chandigarh,  J&K, Rajasthan, West Bengal, Jharkhand, Manipur, Andman & Nicobar Islands and Delhi. In Tamil Nadu the laboratory is only partially functional.

## L.S.US.Q.NO. 1459 FOR 29.07.2025

iii. Training  curriculum  has  been  prepared  for  LEA  personnel,  Public Prosecutors and Judicial officers for better handling of investigation and prosecution.

More  than  24,600  LEA  personnel,  Public  Prosecutors  and Judicial  officers  have  been  provided  training  on  cyber  crime  awareness, investigation, forensics etc. under CCPWC Scheme.
