Q16. “Infrastructure development is essential not only for growth but also for national security.” Discuss.
Infrastructure such as transport, energy, communication, and digital networks supports economic growth and social integration. Well-developed infrastructure also enhances strategic mobility and border area development.
Poor infrastructure can create regional imbalances and governance gaps, which may fuel insecurity. Critical infrastructure protection has therefore become a security priority.
Thus, infrastructure development is closely linked to economic resilience and national security.
Q17. “Energy security is a major component of India’s economic security.” Examine.
Energy security refers to reliable and affordable access to energy resources. India’s dependence on imported fossil fuels makes it vulnerable to global price shocks and geopolitical tensions.
Transition to renewable energy, energy efficiency, and diversification of energy sources are crucial to reduce vulnerability. Energy insecurity can disrupt economic activity and development.
Strengthening energy security is therefore vital for sustained economic growth and national stability.
Q18. “Explain how economic inequality can become a threat to internal security.”
Economic inequality creates social exclusion, frustration, and lack of opportunity. Persistent disparities can weaken social cohesion and trust in institutions.
Marginalised groups may become vulnerable to radicalisation or unrest if grievances remain unaddressed. Security challenges often have deep socio-economic roots.
Inclusive growth, employment generation, and social justice are therefore essential for long-term internal security.
Q19. “Discuss the role of technology in strengthening border management.”
Technology enhances border surveillance through tools such as drones, satellite imagery, and sensors. It improves detection and response capability.
Digital communication and data sharing improve coordination among security agencies. However, technological solutions must be complemented by trained manpower.
Effective use of technology can significantly strengthen border management and internal security.
Q20. “Good governance is the most effective tool for preventing security challenges.” Analyse.
Good governance ensures effective service delivery, rule of law, and accountability. It addresses grievances before they escalate into security threats.
Weak governance, corruption, and exclusion can fuel unrest and instability. Security challenges often reflect governance failures.
Thus, strengthening governance institutions is fundamental to maintaining peace and internal security.
