Technology
India is gearing up to install its own root server, a big step toward making the country's internet faster, safer, and less dependent on servers abroad.
At NIXI's Foundation Day, MeitY Secretary S Krishnan called this move important for India's massive online community.
Indian root server to speed internet
Root servers help translate website names into the numbers your device understands, so you actually reach the right site.
Having one in India means quicker load times and less strain on international bandwidth.
The government is also working with ICANN and ensuring mirror sites are there to make sure everyone gets a smoother, more secure online experience, including support for Indian languages.
