TACKLING HIDDEN ENEMY BY SECURING CYBER SPACE

THE WORLD IS WITNESSING THE EMERGENCE OF A NON -KINETIC WARFARE AS SEEN IN THE ONGOING UKRAINE-RUSSIA CONFLICT. CYBER WARFARE IS BECOMING AN IMPORTANT TOOL TO INFLUENCE DEMOCRACY AND ELECTION PROCESSES. THEREFORE, IT BECOMES VERY IMPORTANT TO FIGHT THIS INVISIBLE ENEMY

January of every year marks the rise of the sun in the Uttarayan space. Maa Bharati witnesses Uttarayan through the birth anniversaries of her two illustrious sons-Swami Vivekananda and Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, who are the youth icons of 'New India. They both envisioned and crafted the blueprints of inclusivity and sustainable development. While we rejuvenate our past, our present and future are closely shaping up to the visions of our freedom fighters and ancestors. This is the onset of the Amrit Kaal which aims to enhance the lives of our citizens, bridge the gap of development between our villages and cities and implement the meaning of the term Antyodaya as envisaged by Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyay.

DATA SOVEREIGNTY

In my book Data Sovereignty the Pursuit of Supremacy, I have mentioned that data is the new oil and whoever controls it, will rule the world. If India wants to avoid data colonisation, then 'data sovereignty' is the only solution. Sovereignty implies that India is a nation having rights on our data, building infrastructure for capture and storage of data within the territories of India, accountability for usage of data, creating adequate legal framework, empowering law enforcement agencies, ensuring data security along with privacy and empowering every citizen to have rights on their data.
