As per an order of the Ministry of Home Affairs, suggestions and opinions from the general public are sought `on the draft rules, which will be finalised after a month.
The Central government has released draft rules for the Rashtriya Raksha University Act 2020, which was passed in the Parliament during the monsoon session. The Act was enacted to set up a multi-disciplinary university for imparting education on policing, research and collaboration of various wings of policing, the criminal justice system and correctional administration.
As per an order of the Ministry of Home Affairs, suggestions and opinions from the general public are sought `on the draft rules, which will be finalised after a month.
The Rashtriya Raksha University in Gujarat will replace the Raksha Shakti University. While the Raksha Shakti University was a state university, the Rashtriya Raksha University will be a central institute, the Act states. The draft rules state the vice-chancellor will suggest a panel of not less than five names each for the post of chairperson and members of the governing body, preferably within eight weeks prior to the likely date of the vacancy.
The central government may consider the panel suggested by the vice-chancellor while selecting the members of the governing body. The term of office of non ex-officio members of the governing body shall be for a period of three years or till the time they hold the position by virtue of which they are appointed, whichever is earlier.
The term of office of other non-ex-officio members of the governing body shall be for a period of three years. A nominated member of the governing body shall be eligible for re-nomination for the next term. The term of office of a member nominated to fill a casual vacancy shall continue for the remainder of the term of the member in whose place he or she has been nominated.
A member of the governing body shall cease to be such member if he or she resigns his or her membership or has become physically or mentally incapable of acting as a member or is, or at any time has been, adjudged as insolvent or has been convicted of an offense which in the opinion of the central government involves moral turpitude or he or she accepts a full-time appointment in the university.
At present, there are only a few institutions in the country that provide the environment, infrastructure and specialisation for imparting education in police sciences and internal security to meet the demands of modern, citizen-centric policing. Hence, the university will undertake research and impart knowledge in the domain of policing and allied areas to the youth aspiring to join police and security forces at the national level.
