Current Affairs - State - Discussion

Gujarat has taken a proactive step to strengthen cyber security in its energy sector by forming dedicated institutional mechanisms. The state government constituted an 11-member Core Committee and a 19-member Task Force to safeguard critical energy infrastructure such as smart grids, SCADA systems, and power supply networks. With increasing digitalisation of power systems and the need for uninterrupted 24×7 electricity, cyber risks have become a major concern. The initiative focuses on policy review, preparedness assessment, cyber drills, training programmes, and long-term capacity building to ensure resilience against cyber threats targeting vital power infrastructure.
