📢 Greetings from the Centre for Knowledge Sovereignty (CKS)

We are proud and honoured to unveil “Data Resilience in India: A Framework for National Digital Security” — a blueprint for strengthening our nation’s digital backbone and fostering trust in the digital era.

This report is the outcome of extensive consultations across three national roundtables, engaging more than 88 subject matter experts — including Parliamentarians, bureaucrats, policy enthusiasts, lawyers, academicians, CXOs, CIOs, CISOs, law enforcement agencies, defence professionals, and students.

Great move by GoI. No Tech Giant can bully a sovereign nation. @PMO @AshwiniVaishnaw

On 24th July, 2026 I was invited to #SAMVID 5.0, as the Guest of Honour. organised by Rotary Public School, Gurugram. While there were many competitions, I was particularly happy to see the talented specially abled children representing various schools in Delhi NCR participating in creating art forms. A couple of kids volunteered to teach me making rose petals with clay. Wonderful to see their creativity and enthusiam.

@sardesairajdeep A right step by GoI. No tech giant can bully a sovereign nation. They must follow laws of the land and they cannot act arbitrarily. They are answerable. A good move and I hope it sets an example @sardesairajdeep

[Vinit Goenka @vinitgoenka]

🚨 If the Prime Minister’s content can be removed by Meta India, it is not a glitch , it is a threat to national sovereignty and digital sovereignty of Bharat.

@CKSIndia has been fighting a long battle against Tech giants to ensure accountability. Platforms have been seen to run their agenda as well at times. Platforms that ignore India’s laws cannot hide behind safe harbor. Under no circumstances can Platforms be allowed to run without any Accountability .

Govt of India should stop access of such platforms , we have seen such actions happening in various other countries. IT ministry should summon their policy head or occupier as defined under the laws of the land and ask for clarity. If they fail to comply, they should be asked to suspend services.

No Tech Giant can bully a sovereign nation like Bharat. #DataSovereignty #DigitalIndia #SafeHarbour

#Anthropic halts AI access under U.S. orders. Just three days after publicly launching Fable 5, the company said in a blog post that it received a government directive banning all foreign nationals, even ones who work at Anthropic, from accessing Fable 5 and Mythos 5 over national security concerns

This is a reminder: #Digital #sovereignty is survival. India must build #indigenous #AI models & #sovereign #datacenters so our future isn’t hostage to foreign directives.

We will miss you Sir !
Om Shanti 🙏

Today we lost a strong pillar of our organization, @CKSIndia — Shri Bholenath Sir.

Always available and deeply committed, he served with distinction, including critical responsibilities in the North East and as ADC to the Governors. A soft-spoken yet sharp professional, he will be greatly missed.

I pray to Shri Ram to grant him eternal peace and honor his dedicated service to the nation.

Om Shanti ! 🙏

Bharat’s blue and brown wealth remains underutilised not due to scarcity, but invisibility. Geospatial science can change that.
