Five live online training sessions will be used to deliver the course material. There will be two hours in each session.

To replace its criminal laws from the colonial era, the Indian government passed three new laws. The Indian Penal Code (IPC) is replaced by the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) by the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), and the Indian Evidence Act (IEA) by the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA).

The new legislation will go into force on July 1, 2024. This was done in an effort to reform the judicial system in light of financial crimes, technological advancements, and organised crime.
