Abstract
The phenomenal development of strategic electronics systems, in recent years, and their rapidly growing deployment in civil and defence applications prompted us to study critically how India can exploit the art for national interest. Keeping in mind that India with its vast population needs special attention to mass communication by radio and TV broadcasts, telecommunication, visual communication, disaster and environmental monitoring and warning gadgets, remote sensing of agricultural fields, soil condition and water resources and collision avoidance of fast vehicles, besides a host of defence applications, we were prompted to study the cases one by one and tried to look into the prospects of their development in the Indian context.
