However, it must be realized that all aspects of the strategy to deal with national security cannot be openly announced due to the confidentiality of information on the country's threat landscape, which is the basis of necessary responses. Under that strategy at a given time.
There is a large variable component in the security landscape in today's world and I recognize that the lifespan of long-range security assessments has generally become shorter.
There is open agreement on a number of initiatives for national security, such as the promotion of public education, which I have designed to spread awareness among citizens that they all have a contribution to make to protect national security. A democratic system where the state considered itself responsible for the security of the people.The validity of many publicly known concepts such as 'national security is inseparable from economic security', threats to cyber security and the lifelines of the country through cyber data and open warfare are giving way to 'proxy wars' in this new era. , where the instrument 'terrorism' I made full use of in the latter is now well established and has created new paradigms for formulating national security strategies.
Several components of this strategy
'Protected information' must be protected from the prying eyes of an adversary. An assessment of who the 'friends and foes' are in the present and future will in itself be an assessment that the government would like to maintain itself regardless of the stance it takes publicly .

National security lies in a combination of defense capabilities, a strong security regime based on capable national intelligence agencies and strong national infrastructure, overall 'national strength' due to a developed economy making use of the demographic dividend and free trade agreements with other major countries. .In the defence, the details of import of military equipment with provision for its manufacturing in India on suitable terms and conditions may be known, but the pattern of its deployment will remain a confidential part of whatever will be made public. National Security Strategy of India.
Defense plans were based on military intelligence, including SIGNA intelligence, which by its very nature was a secret.Critical national infrastructure runs on cyber systems which includes creating a strong confidential cyber security framework.
The demographic situation is relevant to the broader issue of national security, in the sense that it determines the country's potential strength for the future. Two-thirds of India's population is under 35 years of age and this makes the country more vulnerable than China. Strategic advantage lies where there is an aging population. NSS can announce the plan on how the country will unite the youth for national security.
Finally, since economic security will be strengthened by the success achieved by diplomacy in working out trade agreements with other friendly and economically strong countries, in that case alone the important role of diplomatic power in enhancing national security deserves a prominent mention in the NSS. should meet.,
Broad aspects of national security are generally in the public domain and all of these will be included in the announced NSS so as to send an appropriate message to the international community about India's political will to protect its national interests and among the people.

National security is an integral concept that mandates constant coordination between civilian, technical and military intelligence agencies. While the NS plays an important role in the formulation of security policy, he is also the final arbiter on issues of intelligence coordination.

With the threat of cyber security gaining importance, India has established the National Information Board (NIB), chaired by the NSA, to formulate a national cyber security policy, ensure information security and deal with the threat of 'information warfare'. A center for the development of advanced computing has been created and a Cyber Emergency Response Team (CERT-IN) has also been established.Finally, to align strategic objectives, defense requirements and financial allocation, a nine-member Defense Planning Committee (DPC) has been constituted in 2018 under the chairmanship of the NSA with senior representatives from the Defence, External Affairs and Finance ministries.
DPC is also responsible for policy and strategy, capability development, defense diplomacy, defense production and creation of a manufacturing ecosystem. The institution of NSA is thus the kingpin of the system which ensures an integral look at national security and a coordinated response from various wings. Government to the security scenario that exists at any given time.
There have been demands from many quarters to declare NSS - measures India is considering to deal with these.The scope of hostile forces facing the nation was not constant and the rise of the era of 'proxy wars' further increased the importance of intelligence which, by definition, was information collected and kept confidential.
The NSS outlines the country's security objectives and the methods to be adopted to achieve them. In the areas of defence, international relations and counter-intelligence measures, the country's policies and systemic formulation can be made public and they The strategy document will become the declared components of NSS at the macro level.
Designing a response to covert threats to security is at a different level as it has to be kept out of the public domain as it is based on intelligence or 'protected information'.
