Understanding a National Security Strategy:
- A National Security Strategy outlines a country’s security goals and how to achieve them.
- It is periodically updated to address traditional and non-traditional threats, ensuring accountability in implementing security responsibilities.
- Offers a holistic perspective on national security, including threats and strategies to counter them.
Scope of India’s Strategy:
- The exact content of India’s strategy is not disclosed, but it is expected to encompass a wide range of challenges, including financial, economic, food, energy, and information security, along with critical infrastructure, supply chain, and environmental concerns.
Developed countries with robust military and security structures, such as the US, UK, Russia, China, and have their own National Security Strategies. |
The Need for India’s National Security Strategy
- Calls for a National Security Strategy in India have arisen multiple times given rising geopolitical tensions.
- Existing directives are outdated and insufficient to address contemporary challenges. Military reforms should be guided by a national security strategy.
Why in News:
- The National Security Council Secretariat (NSCS) is gathering inputs from Central ministries and departments to draft India’s first National Security Strategy.
