Technology
NITI Aayog is rolling out its plan to make India a leader in quantum technology at IIIT-Hyderabad today.
Telangana's Chief Minister will also announce a state-level Quantum Computing Policy.
Before the launch, experts and industry leaders are set to chat about how quantum tech could shape security and other use cases.
Why this roadmap matters
The plan puts a spotlight on using quantum tech to boost national security and strengthen key infrastructure.
It calls for teamwork between government, industry, and researchers, plus building homegrown talent so we're not just relying on other countries.
The roadmap also tackles risks—like data privacy threats—by suggesting new encryption methods and strengthening privacy and security measures.
