PANAJI: Director General of Police Alok Kumar has announced that Goa has secured the first position in the country in the implementation of the Nyay Samhitas, as per the February 2026 national assessment conducted by the Bureau of Police Research and Development. The State achieved an overall score of 83.10%, ranking highest among all States and Union Territories.
In a press release issued today, the DGP stated that the top ranking reflects Goa’s strong institutional preparedness, coordinated reforms, and timely adoption of procedural, technological, and administrative measures under the new criminal law framework.
Kumar said Goa secured a perfect 20 out of 20 in Administrative Reforms, with full compliance in the issuance of statutory notifications and the adoption of model rules under the Nyay Samhitas. He noted that this demonstrates the State’s readiness to translate legislative changes into enforceable and operational systems without delay.
Detailing the operational parameters, the DGP said Goa recorded 100% compliance in Zero FIR registration, ensuring that complaints are registered irrespective of jurisdiction. He added that effective utilisation of the National Automated Fingerprint Identification System, implementation of e-Sakshya for digital evidence handling, and strengthened electronic workflows linking police stations with courts have significantly improved investigation quality and case progression.
In the Information and Communication Technology segment, Goa scored high for implementation of e-Summons, Nyaya Shruti, and MedLeaPR. The State also achieved full marks in system integration, with seamless two-way digital connectivity between Police, Courts, Prisons, the Forensic Science Laboratory, and Prosecution through CCTNS and allied platforms, enabling real-time data exchange and better inter-agency coordination.
The DGP further stated that the achievement is the result of collective efforts across all pillars of the criminal justice system. He said the Goa Police played a leading role in bringing together the Judiciary, Prosecution, Prisons, Forensic Services, and line departments to ensure smooth and effective rollout of the new laws.
Kumar reaffirmed that the State remains committed to strengthening capacity building, improving inter-agency coordination, and ensuring that the objectives of the new criminal laws translate into faster, fairer, and more citizen-centric justice delivery.
