Dear Students

It gives me immense pleasure for having become a part of Sardar Patel University of Police, Security and Criminal Justice (SPUP) as its Vice Chancellor. The University aims to foster the creation of new knowledge in the domains of Criminal Justice, Public Safety and Security and to provide a forum for engagement between field practitioners and researchers. This is the eighth year of this University’s academic journey and it is emerging as an institution of quality learning with its integrated academic programmes and interdisciplinary research. I take this opportunity to welcome the new students who have joined the UG and the PG programmes of the University.

With its motto of “Knowledge is Power”, SPUP has been traversing the path of delivering quality education by developing its human resources with a democratic and ethical orientation. Our academic programmes are designed for both students and practitioners. The University has highly qualified faculty, with profound scholarship in their respective fields of expertise. A large number of national and international conferences, seminars and workshops are being regularly organized by the University to provide a suitable research platform to faculty and researchers alike. Our faculty members have published quality research work in reputed journals and books. With its conducive teaching-learning culture, there is a consistent active and fruitful interaction between faculty and students on the campus.

SPUP is a relatively new University, and it has recently moved to the permanent campus. As we need to keep growing from strength to strength, we are hopeful of receiving continued support from all our stakeholders towards the development of the new campus. We are also committed to making the campus ICT enabled, and to provide an accessible e-learning environment to our students and researchers.

To be closely associated with other segments of society, the University has entered into several MoUs with various governmental and non-governmental organizations for mutual benefits. The University has been facilitating campus recruitment and our students have found placements in renowned organizations. The University has established some professional centres which are working closely with the Government and running capacity building programs and courses in the area of Road Safety, Child Rights and Protection, Cyber Security, Social Defence and Gender Studies, Peace and Conflict Studies, Counter-Corruption Studies, etc. to name a few. We are now planning to collaborate with some international institutions to facilitate student exchange, internship programs and joint research.

SPUP strives to prepare you to become better and resposible citizens irrespective of your socio-cultural background. I welcome you to the SPUP family and wish you success in all your future endeavours.

Best Wishes!

Dr. Alok Tripathi, IPS(R)
