Summary/Abstract |
A wide variety of state-of-the-art UGS systems are now available in the market
The use of unattended ground sensors (UGS) for border security applications has gained momentum in recent times across the world. For India, where the border guarding forces face significantly large number of challenges manning the open and porous borders, the UGS could provide a perfect solution. It is no surprise that Indian armed forces are now in the process of procuring these advanced sensors.
The ministry of home affairs (MHA) had issued an expression of interest (EoI) in 2013 to procure UGS systems for Border Security Force (BSF). This initiative from the MHA came after the reports of a 400 metre long tunnel was found in Jammu and Kashmir close to the international border. "Hand-held control receiver and variety of sensors like, passive infrared sensor to detect movement of object in a narrow field of view, magnetic sensors to monitor movement of metallic objects such as weapons or vehicles and seismic sensors to identify ground vibration caused by vehicles or pedestrians (should be encompassed in the device)," stated the qualitative requirements floated by the Paramilitary.

Summary/Abstract |
The Border Area Development Programme was initiated in the year 1986–87, to strengthen India’s security by ensuring developed and secure borders. Initially, the programme was implemented in the western border states to facilitate deployment of the Border Security Force. Later, the geographical and functional scope of the programme was widened to include eastern and northern sectors of India’s borders and as well as socio-economic aspects such as education, health, agriculture and other allied sectors. But, it is difficult to say that the implementation has been uniform in all the sectors. While the programme on the Western front along the India–Pakistan border has been fairly successful, it is yet to achieve its stated objectives on the Eastern front. Using an analytical framework, the article examines three aspects of BADP: Its context and concept; identifying challenges that hinder the Programme’s effectiveness; and certain policy prescriptions.
