Overview
Digital sovereignty is a critical national security, economic, and governance challenge for India, impacting its strategic autonomy, data privacy, and ability to leverage technology for development while mitigating geopolitical risks in an increasingly fragmented international order.
Digital sovereignty refers to a nation's ability to govern its own digital infrastructure, data, and technological systems, ensuring control over critical information and services within its borders, free from undue influence or control by foreign entities or governments. It is crucial for national security, economic independence, and maintaining strategic autonomy in an increasingly interconnected world.
