The Union Home Minister launched the Abhigyan App in New Delhi to strengthen the use of crime-related data by law enforcement agencies.
The Abhigyan App is a centralised digital platform developed by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) under the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), Government of India.
It enables police personnel to access a large database of criminal records through smartphones for faster investigation and verification.
The app is integrated with the National Automated Fingerprint Identification System (NAFIS), allowing real-time fingerprint matching with records of accused, convicts, and prisoners.
The system strengthens digital policing by enabling rapid identification of individuals, improving efficiency in criminal investigations, and supporting evidence-based law enforcement.
