The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) along with with other premier institutes is currently developing the nation's very own operating system. The development process is a result of the need to have a strong cyber security system installed in the country. DRDO Chief V K Saraswat went ahead to reveal that the OS will be ready in the next three years. The DRDO Director-General was further quoted as saying, “One of the major elements of cyber security is having our own operating system because today we are dependent on all OS systems which are imported whether it is based on Windows, Linux which is likely to be having malicious worms/things and hence it is essential that we have our own OS.”
