PM Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and National Security Adviser Ajit Doval will address this annual meet that is also expected to discuss the situation in Jammu and Kashmir, border management and maritime security.

Nearly 350 top police officers of the country in the rank of director general and inspector general will attend this conference, an official said.

Threats from Khalistan extremists, danger to the economy, cryptocurrencies, Maoist violence and northeast insurgency are other issues which may be the part of the discussion.

Till 2013, the annual meet was held in New Delhi.

The next year, when the Modi led government came into power, it was decided to hold the event, organised by the Ministry of Home Affairs and Intelligence Bureau, outside the national capital.

Accordingly, it was held in Guwahati in 2014, Rann of Kutch in 2015, the National Police Academy in Hyderabad in 2016, the BSF academy at Tekanpur in 2017, Pune in 2019 and virtually during the Covid pandemic in 2020 and in Lucknow in hybrid mode in 2021. 

This time, the conference is being held at the Indian Agricultural Research Institute in Delhi's Pusa, unlike the previous venue Vigyan Bhavan.
