With various business leaders from the country and abroad pledging support to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Make in India' campaign, the security gadgets and equipments sector too has decided to adopt it and develop India as a manufacturing hub in this domain.
While speaking during the inaugural session of the 17th Indian International Security Expo here, CISF chief Arvind Ranjan said the 'Make in India' concept "has become very relevant in the security equipments making field too."
Ranjan urged Indian manufacturers to develop and showcase gadgets and other security equipment which is required by various security forces rendering a special kind of duty from the sub-zero temperatures to the hot desert.
"We need gadgets according to our needs and I am sure our private and public sector companies in this domain can do it," the CISF DG said.
A number of experts and industry leaders present on the occasion seconded Ranjan and said that there was an "immense potential in Indian firms to achieve the real crux behind this motto" coined by Modi.
The expo, being held at Pragati Maidan from September 25-28, will showcase a host of security related devices, vehicles and armour made by about 107 firms with almost 5,000 products on display.
