Prime Minister Narendra Modi will participate in the 60th edition of the All India Conference of Directors General and Inspectors General of Police, scheduled to be held at the Indian Institute of Management (IIM), Raipur, on November 29 and 30.

The three-day conference, commencing from November 28 to 30, will review progress made so far in addressing key policing and internal security challenges, while outlining a forward-looking roadmap towards building a “Surakshit Bharat” in line with the national vision of “Viksit Bharat”. The overarching theme for this year’s deliberations is “Viksit Bharat: Security Dimensions”.

Discussions during the conference will focus on critical areas, including Left Wing Extremism, counter-terrorism, disaster management, women’s safety, and the application of forensic science and artificial intelligence in policing. The Prime Minister will also confer the President’s Police Medals for Distinguished Service during the event.

The annual conference serves as an essential platform for senior police leadership and security administrators from across the country to engage in structured and purposeful dialogue on national security concerns. It allows for the exchange of professional practices and perspectives on operational challenges, infrastructural needs, police welfare, crime control and internal security preparedness.

Prime Minister Modi has consistently emphasised the importance of this forum, encouraging open discussions and the sharing of innovative ideas in policing. Business sessions, break-out interactions and thematic discussions will enable senior officers to present their views directly to the Prime Minister on key policy and security matters.

Since 2014, the conference format has witnessed continuous evolution, with the event hosted at diverse locations including Guwahati, the Rann of Kachchh, Hyderabad, Tekanpur (Gwalior), the Statue of Unity at Kevadiya, Pune, Lucknow, New Delhi, Jaipur and Bhubaneswar. Continuing this tradition, the 60th edition will be hosted in Raipur this year.

The conference will be attended by the Union Home Minister, the National Security Adviser, Ministers of State for Home Affairs, Directors General of Police of States and Union Territories, and heads of Central Police Organisations. In addition, senior Home Department officials and selected officers in the ranks of DIG and SP from across the country will also participate in person, bringing diverse operational perspectives into the discussions.

With evolving security challenges and technological transformation reshaping policing frameworks, the Raipur conference is expected to play a significant role in strengthening strategic coordination and reinforcing India’s internal security framework in a rapidly evolving security environment.
