'Indian OS' DRDO Introducing It's Own Operating System to Harden Cyber Security
On the 3rd Worldwide Cyber security Summit, Telecom and IT Minister of India, Kapil Sibal said the Indian Government will invest $200 million in coming 4 years. This high tech plan of Indian govt in now getting executed, as Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) along-with other premier institutes is developing India's own operating system (OS), which is likely to be ready in next three years. One of the key purpose of developing this operating system named "Indian OS" to enhance cyber security and strengthen the cyber and digital fence of India. In September the Prime Minister of India Dr. Manmohan Singh said the government is working on a robust cyber security structure, and this project of introducing the own and secure OS can be calculated as one of the very major part of that very robust cyber security system.
Speaking to newsmen on sidelines of NAVCOM-2012', two-day international conference on Navigation and Communication that began here, Saraswat, Scientific Adviser to Defence Minister, said, "We have already started a major programme and are one-and-half-years into that programme. It (Indian OS) is a major effort requiring large number of software engineers working together." In his speech the Director-General of DRDO said "One of the major elements of cyber security is having our own operating system because today we are dependent on all OS systems which are imported whether it is based on Windows, Linux which is likely to be having malicious worms/things and hence it is essential that we have our own OS"
He also said that 150 engineers were working across the country on creating Indian OS, and added it will take at least three more years for getting the Indian OS ready.
So, till that time being, we have to keep patience and wait. We the Team VOGH congratulates DRDO for making such a fruitful Operating System (Indian OS). We strongly believe that day by day the cyber fence of India will be safer and secure. Along with this, the Indian OS will definitely strengthen the nation's cyber security.
