Crime and Criminals Tracking Network and Systems (CCTNS) Project

The Crime and Criminal Tracking Network and Systems (CCTNS) project launched in 2009, is a mission mode project under the National, e-Governance Plan being implemented by the Ministry of Home Affairs.

  • The project aims at creating a comprehensive and integrated system and a nation-wide networked solution for connecting more than 15,000 Police Stations and nearly 6,000 higher offices in 28 States and 7 UTs of the country for sharing of real-time crime and criminal information.
  • The project has been conceptualized based on the principle of ‘Centralized Planning and Decentralized Implementation’.
  • A Core Application Software (CAS) was developed with common definitions, scheme and specifications at the Central level which would be handed over to the States/UTs for State specific customization.

Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs

  • United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has given a wider dimension to human security as it goes beyond military protection and engages threats to human dignity.
  • OCHA’s expanded definition of security calls for a wide range of security areas:
    • Economic: creation of employment and measures against poverty.
    • Food: measures against hunger and famine.
    • Health: measures against disease, unsafe food, malnutrition and lack of access to basic health care.
    • Environmental: measures against environmental degradation, resource depletion, natural disasters and pollution.
    • Personal: measures against physical violence, crime, terrorism, domestic violence and child labour.
    • Community: measures against inter-ethnic, religious and other identity tensions.
    • Political: measures against political repression and human rights abuses
