Live a moment and preserve it for eternity. With this motto the photography club of CRPF Academy - Pratibimb was inaugurated on 27th August, 2010. Photography is a boon to our civilization. Before the discovery of such a medium, human civilization was devoid of any method of visual recording or retrieving the achievement, momentous and nostalgic moments of life and what was only left was a memory of only who would survive the times.
The assistance of photographs is of great help in the administration of Criminal Justice System. Law Courts recognizes photographs as a substantive piece of evidence. Prima facie what is being seen in photograph is apparently believable unless the same is tempered with or doctored by some experts to convey other than the truth. However, the onus of proof shifts from the prosecutor to the alleged perpetrator to dispel the doubts. Further photographs are also used as corroborative evidence to collate and corroborate the story.

The officers are having lots of hidden talents and desire to artistically express themselves which will enrich their life. Every month such activities are conducted on different theaters.

Law, the word is generally construed as some set of rules which restricts, restrains and prohibits individuals to do or act in a certain way. This conception of the word is not completely true as law is also something which liberates permits and guides individuals into certain set of environments in which the maximum good for the mass population can be achieved.
In a simple way one can explain law as setting the rules of the game before you start the game. What is game here is the working of a civil society. Every individual feels that he should have certain liberties which he/she asserts in the form of his/her rights. But to ensure that one is able to enjoy one's liberties and assert its rights, someone has to perform his/her parallel duties so that the conducive conditions could be created wherein the liberties could be enjoyed & the rights could be exercised. Therefore, law is a great enabler which harmonies the co-existence of rights and duties of individual which could guide in an environment where in the fullest development of one personality and collective well being of the society can be achieved. In this background the LAW CLUB OF CRPF ACADEMY- the LEX CORPUS was launched on 25th September 2010.
Environmental initiatives are very important for our sustenance and inclusive growth. And formations of environmental clubs are usually a way to spread information about environmental issues and can be a source of organizing, cleaning up areas, forestation and improvise the natural ambiance to enhance our effectiveness in life in all fields.
As a government official our responsibilities are more. It is also one of the tool of ensuring community service and recreational activities. Recreational because if you create, construct or nurture something which becomes a very fulfilling to your heart, your soul?
