Ministry of Home Affairs:Year End Review 2024
Ministry of Home Affairs:Year End Review 2024
The year 2024 was a year of historic reforms initiated by the Union Home Ministry to ensure ‘ease of justice for all’ and to build a secure Bharat as envisioned by PM Shri Narendra Modi Ji. The ministry made several game-changing decisions, making way for epoch-making reforms and unprecedented achievements in securing citizens’ rights enshrined in the Constitution of India.
Actively pursuing PM Shri Narendra Modi Ji’s appeal to erase all the vestiges of colonialism, the ministry decided to replace the Indian Penal Code, the Code of Criminal Procedure, and the Indian Evidence Act promulgated by the British Parliament during the colonial era with the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita, the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, and the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam. The indigenously framed criminal laws draw heavily from Indian jurisprudence available in ancient Indian texts and enshrine the delivery of justice in the centrality of the criminal justice system for the first time after independence. The new laws came into force on 1st July 2024.
However, that was not all. The MHA launched a series of game-changing initiatives engulfing security, women’s rights, inclusion of the marginalized sections, and advancing Bharat’s journey to a new era of greatness by manifold. The new initiatives adopted by the MHA are as follows:
