The DGsP/IGsP conference used to be a one-day affair, however, since 2015 it has become a three-day affair.
“In the lead-up to the Conference, Committees of DGsP are established to formulate the contours of presentations, which are on contemporary security threats. Additionally, during the Conference, break-out sessions are held to further refine policy issues. This year, eleven core groups were formed for holding brainstorming sessions on key aspects of internal and external security such as terrorism, naxalism, coastal security, cyber threats, combating radicalization and narco-terrorism etc,” a press release by the Prime Minister’s Office read.
