India needs proactive govt support in AI for national security, says report

Time of India6 days ago
India needs government incentives and substantial investments in artificial intelligence (AI) to strengthen cybersecurity and border security, a report by Nexgen Exhibitions said on Monday. The report, based on a survey of over 200 companies from 15 cities, highlighted that 86 per cent of respondents agree or strongly agree that India needs proactive government support in AI for national security. As the nation grapples with the increasing challenges in electronic warfare and information warfare, AI emerges as a transformative tool for ensuring national sovereignty, the report noted. Industry estimates suggest that over 2.3 million cybersecurity incidents were reported in India in 2024, along with a financial loss of Rs 1,200 crore due to cyberattacks, the report noted. The country also ranks third globally in phishing attacks, after the US and Russia.
Around 14% of respondents support public-private partnerships and incentives for AI innovation in defence.
They believe that PPPs (public private partnership) can bridge the AI divide in the sector, effectively ensuring ethical integration of the technology.
The report further highlighted that numerous policy gaps need to be addressed by the stakeholders and the government to effectively leverage AI in bolstering national security.
There is a notable absence of a national
AI security framework
specifically designed for defence applications, which is essential for establishing robust security measures, it pointed out.
Nexgen Exhibitions in a statement also said that Delhi will host the 10th International Police Expo 2025 from July 31 to August 1 which will focus on strengthening the country's internal security and policing infrastructure.
Aadhar Bansal, Director, Nexgen Exhibitions said, "The International Police Expo 2025 will serve as one of the most influential platforms for showcasing innovative solutions in security and technology, underscoring the urgent need for proactive government support and collaboration in AI to enhance national security."

Highways dept appeals Madras HC order to demolish two pillars of Avinashi road elevated flyover project

COIMBATORE: The Madras High Court ordered the Special Projects wing of the State Highways department officials (Coimbatore division) to demolish two pillars built for the ramps of the Avinashi Road elevated flyover project. The move comes after a landowner alleged that the construction of the pillars appears to favour a private star hotel on Avinashi Road. Meanwhile, the highways department has filed an appeal against the order. Justice Bharatha Chakravarthy observed that the pillars, originally spaced 30 metres apart, had been repositioned without structural justification. The judge ordered the demolition of the relocated pillars and reconstruction at the originally-sanctioned spots, citing risk to the structural integrity of the flyover. He also imposed a personal fine of Rs 1,000 each on two senior highways engineers, and directed that the relocated pillars be marked with the Tamil Nadu Government's motto "Vaaimaiye Vellum" (Truth Alone Triumphs), and be known as the "Pillars of Truth." The 10.1 km-long, Rs 1,621.3 crore flyover project, connecting Uppilipalayam and Goldwins, is one of Tamil Nadu's largest infrastructure undertakings. Originally, the project included five pedestrian subways at high-traffic points to ensure safe crossings under the flyover, as well as service roads to maintain access to properties alongside the corridor. Kathirmathiyon, secretary of Coimbatore Consumer Cause and a member of the Coimbatore District Road Safety Committee filed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) against the highways department for omitting key pedestrian infrastructure and a service road in the ongoing Avinashi Road elevated flyover project. The PIL, filed before the Madras High Court, flags the silent removal of five approved pedestrian subways and the dropping of a service road near a private hotel, both of which were part of the original sanctioned plans.

Party workers' role key in delivering schemes: Gottipati

Addanki: Energy Minister Gottipati Ravi Kumar announced that the coalition government, under Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, aims to ensure that welfare schemes reach all eligible beneficiaries and effectively communicate its initiatives to all citizens across the state. The minister, along with the Bapatla MP Tenneti Krishna Prasad unveiled a statue of NT Rama Rao and NTR Kalakshetram, and participated in 'Suparipalanalo Tholi Adugu-Intintiki Telugu Desam' programme, at Chandaluru village in J Panguluru mandal, on Sunday. During the village-level campaign, Minister Gottipati visited households to assess the implementation of coalition government welfare programmes and gathered feedback from beneficiaries. Additionally, he distributed three-wheeler scooters to ten differently-abled individuals. Speaking on the occasion, Gottipati praised NTR as the pioneer of welfare schemes for the poor, noting that programmes like two-rupee rice and women's property rights are still implemented by numerous states nationwide. The minister announced infrastructure funding, including Rs 30 lakh for road construction in Chandaluru village, Rs 2 crore for the Chandaluru-Gangavaram BT road, and Rs 35 lakh for constructing a dining hall at the district council high school. Gottipati explained that the primary objective of the 'Suparipalanalo Tholi Adugu- Intintiki Telugu Desam' initiative is to monitor how welfare schemes reach eligible beneficiaries during the coalition government's 15-month tenure. He emphasised that programmes such as pensions, Talliki Vandanam, and the Deepam gas scheme distribution should be verified by relevant department officials and secretariat staff. He emphasised the crucial role of party workers in implementing government schemes.
