Summary / Abstract (Note) | With the Covid-19 pandemic, as the resources are diverted towards medical and social emergencies, an uncharted economic territory necessitates an overall assessment of strategic outlook and subsequent realignment of priorities — in line with available resources. This assessment becomes even more critical at a time when global order is at the cusp of major transformation and India is facing new challenges to its National Security. In spite of its setbacks, the Covid crisis offers the Indian establishment an opportunity to take long pending difficult decisions towards transforming its policy approach and undertaking structural reforms. Through the ‘Atma-Nirbharta’ (Self Sufficiency) policy, India has initiated its movement towards self-dependence in defence manufacturing. However, to meet the future security challenges, a holistic transformation through self-analysis, with ingenious solutions, is the need of the hour. |
