He also revealed that US government has allowed NSA to keep an eye on BJP in 2010 which was the main opposition party at that time and won the biggest election in 2014.

Challenges Ahead

The operating system is not yet perfectly implemented. The OS was initially released in 2007, but the adoption of this OS is seen low in government offices and departments. But the version, which will be released next week and is developed by DRDO and Gujarat t\Technical University along with some computer experts is expected to be much better in performance and security phase.

It is not the first time that India has made such steps in IT sector. ISRO has also made its own app known as SAKAAR for android devices with ICS 4.0.3 and above. The app is having a live camera view to represent the actual physical world. Virtual objects are superimposed over camera view using 3D models, videos and images.

Many more apps and software’s have been developed by Indian super minds, marking their expertise. BOSS is the requirement of India and is critically needed for safeguarding Indian servers and data. Most important thing is to make a safe distance from expert nations like China, which have some points of disagreements with India. Last year Indian Air Force has asked its personals to stop using Xiaomi smartphones which is said to be sending data to a Chinese server liked with ministry of information industry in China. So, these aspects are kept in mind to secure nation form external threats and these have to be eradicated first as digitization is covering the nation.
