Prepping up to dominate the new age cyber warfare, India is all set to have Defence Cyber Agency (DCA) by the end of May 2019, reports NDTV. The agency will bolster India's capabilities to tackle threats rising out of hackers and adversaries from nations like Pakistan and China.
The DCA will have its headquarter in New Delhi, with senior Indian Navy officer Rear Admiral Mohit Gupta being the first head of the agency. The name of Rear Admiral Gupta was agreed upon by the Ministry of Defence and the three chiefs with consensus.
The structure of the space agency is still in discussion while the special forces agency will be headed by a Major General rank officer of the Indian Army and will be coming up in Agra, which already has a Para brigade and the wherewithal to airlift Special Forces in large numbers as the base co-exists with an Indian Air Force transport aircraft squadron.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
