Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the launch of the Sudarshan Chakra Mission during his Independence Day speech at the Red Fort in New Delhi. This mission aims to develop a powerful, indigenous security system that will not only defend against enemy attacks but also counterattack with precision.
Key Highlights of the Sudarshan Chakra Mission
- National Security Shield: By 2035, important places like military bases, hospitals, railway stations, and religious sites across the country will be covered under this security shield.
- Inspired by Lord Krishna: The mission draws inspiration from Lord Krishna's Sudarshan Chakra, symbolizing protection and righteousness.
- Indigenous Development: The entire system will be researched, designed, and manufactured in India, aligning with the vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India).
Addressing Security Concerns
- Infiltrator Crisis: PM Modi highlighted concerns about changing demographics in border areas and the impact on tribals' livelihoods, announcing a High Power Demography Mission.
- RSS Centenary: Modi acknowledged the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh's (RSS) 100-year history, emphasizing its values of service, dedication, organization, and discipline.
The Sudarshan Chakra Mission is envisioned as a comprehensive security framework incorporating advanced surveillance, cyber protection, and physical safeguards to ensure every citizen feels safe.
