This centre will keep track of global trends / groups in this arena, create standards, develop tools, create solutions, certify, audit systems and create immense awareness in the country.
3.National Homeland Security Research Centre– This is the mother of all organizations waging a war on terror. Bringing research in all relevant technologies under one roof and under one command and control is the objective.
