The All India Forensic Science Summit (AIFSS) 2025 on the “Role of Forensic Science in effective Implementation of New Criminal Laws and Combating Terrorism” is being organised under the aegis of the Women Safety Division, Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India. This conference is rooted in the growing necessity of forensic science within the criminal justice system, particularly in light of new criminal laws and the fight against terrorism. Forensic science is a significant component of contemporary investigative procedures as it adeptly combines scientific precision with legal examination. Yet, India continues to face considerable challenges in the growth and standardisation of forensic infrastructure and its application in forensic evidence before the courts of law. This reality underscores the need for a forum where experts come together to share intellectual dialogue to develop policy, introduce collaborative strategies, shape futuristic policies and secure joint solutions
