## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOME AFFAIRS (SHRI HARIBHAI PARATHIBHAI CHAUDHARY)

(a): Yes  Madam.  The  aim,  objective  and  salient  features  of  Crime  and Criminal Tracking Network and Systems (CCTNS) are:

- i. To fully computerize the process of crime registration, investigation, prosecution etc. in all police stations in the country
- ii. To  create  a  central  database  to  provide  national  level  search facility  as  well  as  crime  analytics  for  use  by  police  and  central agencies
- iii. To electronically share data/information among Police Stations & Police Higher Offices
- iv. Computerization of all prisons and provision of necessary hardware, software etc.
5. v.
6. To provide citizen services through a Citizen Portal.
- vi. Sharing of Crime and Criminal related data with Police, Prosecution,  Courts,  Prison  and  Forensics  leading  to  Integrated Criminal Justice System
8. (b): Yes  Madam.  All  the  States,  except  Bihar  and  Rajasthan  where  the contract  of  the  System  Integrator  has  been  cancelled,  are  working  on implementing and bringing all police  stations  under  CCTNS.  Out  of  total 14844 Police Stations  in  the  States/UTs,  11616  (78%)  of  Police  Stations are entering 100% FIRs through CCTNS software.  State-wise information is at Annexure I.

(c)&(d): Yes Madam. The Government has decided to implement Interoperable Criminal Justice System  (ICJS) by integrating Courts, prisons, police, forensics and Prosecution by March 2017.

## L.S.US.Q.NO. 1398 FOR 08.12.2015

(e): CCTNS  is  a  complex  project  with  the  project  activities  being undertaken  by  number  of  stakeholders.  All  States/UTs  went  through  a complex tendering process to engage System Integrators- involving all the clearances and approvals from the State/UT level Governance structure of CCTNS  project,  which  took  time.  Also  frequent  changes  of  officers responsible for CCTNS at State/UT level led to delays. Such large program was being carried out for the first time, but now enough experience has been gained and the project is in advanced stage of implementation.  The Cabinet  Committee  on  Economic  Affairs  (CCEA)  in  its  meeting  held  on 18th November 2015 has approved the proposal of the Ministry of Home Affairs  (MHA)  for  extension  and  revamping  of  the  Crime  and  Criminals Tracking Network and Systems (CCTNS) Project.  Further this Ministry has revamped the governance structure for monitoring the Project implementation.

(f): CCTNS project is  expected to be fully implemented by March 2017 for achieving its objectives.  A Provision has been made in the project to digitize the old records for last ten years in the project and work on this is also in progress.
