National Intelligence Grid also known as NATGRID, the idea born in the mind of The Minister of Finance P.Chidambaram after 26/11 attacks took place in 2008.
What is NATGRID?
There are wide range of terror attacks in our country. There is immense security to protect the innocent lives from these attacks and yet our country lacks some measurable element that tackles with the terrorism.
First of all let us think of how terror attacks happening in our country?
Say for example, a terrorist 'x' wanted to attack a country. For this he has to do the back ground work. He has to know the details of the country to launch an attack. So at most he can use four components to get the information. They are human material (to carry out the information about the country), finance, communication (it can be any technology), travelling. So these four factors play an important role. After knowing the detailed information he will proceed further. So,this is the way attacks are taking place.
NATGRID is an agency that carries pro-active measurements like checking all kind of information neede to handle the terror attacks and taking appropriate measures. This NATGRID works under the Department of Home Affairs.
What does NATGRID do?
NATGRID grids or integrates various mechanisms or departments of Center and various States and accumulates the information from these departments. This is a tool more than a department or agency to handle the issues. The Cabinet Committee gave nod for this project. The project is carried in four phases. In the first two phases the information from various departments is integrated and in next two phases various amendments have to carried out in the bills for access to the Confidential information of State and Central Governments.
It integrates nearly 21 departments of the Government like finance, banking sector, tourism etc., and provides information to 11 agencies like National Investigative agency, Central Bureau of Investigation, Enforcement Directorate, Narcotics agency etc.,
Who is the Chief Executive of this NATGRID?
Chief Executive Officer of NATGRID is P. Raghu Raman who is proficient in three facets Intelligence, Defense, Security. These qualifications made the selection of P. Raghu Raman as the CEO of NATGRID. The whole work of this project is under the direction of this eminent personality.
What are the critical issues related to NATGRID?
Many States are opposing the idea of integration of the information into a single entity because the information is sensitive and confidential to share any and it may violate privacy of the individual.
