UGC shared flyers on BNS and asked universities to organise campaigns, seminars, talks by lawyers, judges, and faculties.
NEW DELHI: The University Grants Commission (UGC) has asked higher education institutions to publicize the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. The commission asked to do so around the provided themes and by carrying out campaigns through standees, distributing flyers and organizing seminars and talks by lawyers, judges and faculties in their institutions.
The commission mentioned that the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) has replaced the Indian Penal Code; the Bharatiya Sakshya (BS) replaced the Indian Evidence Act; and the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) replaced the Code of Criminal Procedure.
“The BNS is a transformative judicial reform based on victim centric approach, providing witness protection and aims at fast and speedy delivery of justice with the use of technology etc,” it said.
UPSC informed that flyers have been shared for use by HEIs to sensitize faculty and students about the BNS and its implications for ensuring timely justice.
“The Higher Educational Institutions are requested to publicize the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 around the themes contained in the flyers attached and by carrying out campaigns by way of displays through standees, distributing flyers and organizing seminars and talks by lawyers, judges both serving and retired and their respective faculties in their institutions,” the commission stated in an official letter.
Further, UGC requested the colleges and universities to share the details of activities undertaken to the Ministry of Education for its onward transmission to the Ministry of Home Affairs.
