If DPSUs and OFB are to compete at national and international level then the outdated practices will have to be done away with. We need to have modern management techniques, technology infusion and collaborative efforts to help the state defence industrial complex serve India.

Further, Rajnath Singh added that, “With this purpose the government has initiated steps towards Corporatisation of OFB . I am sure this step will not only help do away the constraints of controlled pricing, but will also infuse corporate management practices and efficient systems”.
Overall, these products have been launched because of the ‘Atma Nirbhar Bharat’ initiative announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. As we well know that security is the first priority for our nation. and Government has already banned 49 apps.
