The conference also provides an opportunity to identify tangible action points and monitor their progress, which is also presented before the Prime Minister every year.
The conference is the culmination of extensive deliberations involving police and intelligence officers from district, state and national levels on identified themes. Best practices from States/ UTs under each of the themes will be presented at the Conference so that States can learn from each other.
According to a release by the Prime Minister's office, since 2014, the Prime Minister has taken a keen interest in the DGP conference.
"Unlike the symbolic presence of Prime Ministers earlier, he sits through all major sessions of the conference. Prime Minister not only listens patiently to all the inputs but also encourages free and informal discussions so that new ideas can come up," PMO stated.
Free-flowing thematic discussions over breakfast, lunch and dinner have also been planned for this year's conference.
