Cyber security is no longer limited to just the digital world as it has now become a matter of national security, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said today.<\/p>\n

PM Narendra Modi also noted that the process of importing defence items is so long that by the time they reach our security forces, many of them have become outdated and therefore, the solution is to go for indigenous manufacturing.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven during the period of slavery and immediately after Independence, the strength of our defence manufacturing was very high. Weapons made in India played a big role in World War II,\u201d he said in his address at the Defence Ministry\u2019s post-budget webinar.<\/p>\n

Although this strength of ours kept on weakening in later years, it shows that there was no shortage of capacity in India then and neither it is there now. About 70 % of this year\u2019s defence budget has been kept for domestic industry only, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe strength of India\u2019s IT is our great strength. The more we use this power in our defence sector, the more confident we will be in our security,\u201d. \u201cFor example, cyber security is no longer limited to the digital world only. It has become a matter of national security,\u201d Modi added.<\/p>\n

It is a source of happiness that in the last five-six years, India has increased defence exports by six times, he said.<\/p>\n

Today, India is providing Made in India defence equipments and services to more than 75 countries, he noted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
