MESSAGE FROM

THE PRINCIPAL

Forensic science comprises a diverse array of disciplines, from fingerprint and

DNA analysis to anthropology and wildlife forensics. Though they represent var-
ied disciplines, all forensic scientists face a common set of challenges. The rise

of Artificial Intelligence, mass production, cloud computing and encrypted net-
working tools have challenged the forensic science community like never before.

The Department of Forensic Science at Kristu Jayanti College (Autono-
mous), Bengaluru runs a Bachelor’s (single major) and Master’s in Science

in Forensic Science programmes. During the coming academic year, the de-
partment will also initiate a Bachelor dual major programme in the disci-

plines of biotechnology and forensic science. The department has made mas-
sive leaps in providing knowledge and training in the past 4 years and has
excelled in the quality of education provided to the students of the department.

The Forensic Science newsletter, ‘Veritas’ is a bi-annual newsletter pub-

lished by the department of forensic science which compiles articles writ-
ten by the forensic science students. The previous issues of Veritas have
set a high standard with respect to content, design and quality. The editori-

al board of the newsletter comprised of teachers and students have worked hard
to provide a rich and effective reading experience to the readers in each issue.

This issue touches on topics of Artificial Intelligence, self-driving cars and many

more. On this occasion, I congratulate the department of Forensic Science and the
editorial board of Veritas for the effective contents and design of the issue.
