This will be the 11th NFSU campus and the first in the Vidarbha. Several senior leaders and dignitaries, including CM Fadnavis, Union minister Nitin Gadkari, revenue minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule, Union home secretary Govind Mohan, Maharashtra chief secretary Sujata Saunik, and NFSU vice-chancellor Dr JM Vyas are expected to attend the ceremony.
Headquartered in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, NFSU is the world's first and only university dedicated to forensic and investigative sciences.
The Nagpur campus will begin operations in the academic year 2025–26, offering five courses in forensic sciences and cybersecurity.
Officials stated that the campus will play a crucial role in training skilled forensic professionals and supporting law enforcement agencies through scientific crime investigation, thereby contributing to faster and more accurate delivery of justice.
The Ministry of Home Affairs has sanctioned a grant of ₹120 crore for the Nagpur sub-centre, to be disbursed over 2025–2028. While construction begins at the permanent site in Chicholi, the campus will initially function from the Bharosa Cell office located at Parsodi–Subhash Nagar.
