Government says ‘Police Modernisation Mission’ will strengthen the internal security capabilities of State police forces and Central Armed Police Forces through greater use of technology
The Indian Union government announced on September 3, 2026, that it has initiated the implementation of a ₹24,000-crore Police Modernisation Mission, aimed at upgrading police forces across the country over the next five years. The Union Home Ministry submitted this information to the Supreme Court, responding to a case initiated in 2025 regarding the non-functional CCTV cameras at police stations in Udaipur, Rajasthan.
The Centre's submission emphasized the scheme's focus on enhancing internal security capabilities through advanced technology usage, although specific details of the scheme's components remain undisclosed as it awaits financial approvals.
