New Delhi: India will be spending a whopping USD one billion on internal security modernisation, a senior government official today but the industry sought concrete budgetary figures in this regard.

"The government of India will be investing around USD 1 billion on the internal security modernising programmes," S Suresh Kumar, Joint Secretary (Police Modernisation) in the Ministry of Home Affairs said.

Speaking at the 5th International Conference and Exhibition on Internal Security: Integrating Technologies for Internal Security, he said security forces account for around 60-70 percent of the overall procurements of equipment and solutions for security.



M K Chhabra, IG (Modernisation), BPR&D observed that given the geographical diversity and multiplicity of threats, India is uniquely placed as far as its internal security requirements are concerned. "Therefore, we need customised security solutions as per the expectations and requirements of the Indian security forces."

Meanwhile, the industry requested the government to come out with concrete budgetary figures about the internal security requirements.

"The quantification would help the industry to make its business plans and enter into internal security market with unprecedented vigour," Rothin Bhattacharyya, chairman CII (Internal Security Committee) said.

Gurpal Singh, Deputy Director General and Head Defence, Aerospace and Security, CII said, SMEs are the real source of innovations and therefore, have remained the integral part of the security solutions.

With the defence offsets being extended to internal security and civil aviation, new areas of opportunities have been opened to the Indian industry and SMEs will be the biggest beneficiaries, he said.

Singh pointed out that over the past decade, India's internal security landscape has seen dramatic changes.

He said the need of the hour is effective and intelligent information management.

Effective information management enables security agencies to reduce costs by minimising waste and duplication and using information gathering resources more efficiently.

This, he said can remove unnecessary recording, enable security agencies to share services and systems, help create intelligence from disparate pieces of information, allow for better use of analytics to support decision-making and ensure specialist law enforcement skills are utilised effectively in the community.

"The best, actionable and prompt intelligence on internal security often comes from police stations. Information management also increases the effectiveness and performance of public safety services in a number of ways," he said.

What we need before all this is full fledged and over arching police reforms.

Our police forces in some states are as corrupt as politicians and without proper police reforms, this will be money down the drain with no appreciable improvements in security.

Lol some of our police forces still use Lee Enfield rifles and do not even carry a firearm on them but only a lathi they need to seriously modernize India's police force
 
Indian Internal security management is critical to protect our nation from opponents that come in the form of physical persons, armament items, commercial interests, ideologies and plain misguided routines like Pakistan and also a number of other international powers. Enemies of India are not only territorial but also economic, ideological and other adverse interests.

India's protection (security) is not only dependent on Government of Indian country and its various divisions but on every single resident of Indian, in Indian or residing overseas. It is our overall responsibility to know, have aware & used our sources to help these organizations, help secure this nation that is our only resource and recognition. This religious and wonderful nation of India is the only residing society of humanity that prevails for an incredible number of years.
 
What will one billion headline do when you know there is no political will to destroy naxals or anybody within India.
Was hasan ali convicted on billions of dollars in Swiss bank?

When you treat every terrorist as brother and sister of Indian people type mentality, what these billions will do?
I am sure the proceeds of some commission will end up once again in UPA pockets.

"The Government is not interested in using weapons. They (the Naxalites) are our brothers and sisters and we know that this is a socio-economic problem rather than one of law and order. SHIVRAJ PATIL
