KEY POINTS

·        National Security Directive on the Telecommunication Sector (NSDTS), the government will declare a list of trusted sources and trusted products for installation in the country’s telecom networks.

·        There will also be a list of designated sources from where no procurement is to be made.

·        The directive will apply to new deployment and does not compel the telecom providers to mandatorily replace the existing equipment or alter the annual maintenance contracts.

·        The local manufacturing industry has shown its support to the government move, but much will depend on the quality of the products they manufacture.

·        The directive ensures that the Indian manufactured telecom products get into the global supply chain of the system integrators.

·        It provides an opportunity for the Indian telecom industry to realise its potential as a manufacturing hub.

·        Securing the hardware that goes into the infrastructure along with the codes and network connectors is part of this challenge. The NSDTC is meant to provide guidance in securing the telecom sector.

With the increasing technology in the world, the security parameters of the state also change. It becomes necessary for the state to take adequate security measures to avoid technical complications and increasing cyber attacks.

     Keeping this in mind, it is an important step taken by the Union Cabinet recently that the equipment of telecom sectors in the country should be manufactured in the domestic industry itself, which will have many benefits, such as - there will not be any kind of cyber burglary because India is the global telecom hub. Data security of millions of Internet users has become an important issue.

Now the traditional method of war has changed to cyber war. The new cyber attacks are coming to the fore today. This is an important step to avoid hackers and to protect India's data repository. Today, crores of transactions are done through online medium, whose security is important. It will also have other strategic and economic benefits such as - domestic industry will grow, foreign exchange will be saved, in emergency situations the country will not have to look to other countries for help, we will also be able to export equipment in the global market, start The ups will increase, there will be innovations in this area.

Try to provide sub-headings, avoid writing general points. Try to include various dimensions like socio-economic aspects, technological aspects etc. Keep Writing.

I have a question:

While writing the answer I cannot write the answer directly as I see the question, I mean  First I have to make some points in rough and then I have to form a proper sentence which consumes time, will not help in the mains exam?

If possible then can you provide a tip or solution for this issue??

It would be a great help.

Good attempt. Try to reduce the usage of arrow marks in the answer. Keep Writing.

It is better to spend time on collecting the points before writing an answer, initially it will take a lot of time, it will definitely help you in writing a good answer in mains. 

By writing the answer consistently you will be able to write good answers in the exam.
