Inauguration of the National Security Strategies Conference‑2026

On Monday, August 24, 2026, Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah opened the two‑day National Security Strategies Conference (NSSC) in New Delhi, urging security agencies to adopt strict measures against infiltration. He specifically told police chiefs to detect, delete and deport illegal migrants.

AI‑Driven Analysis and SOP Development

Shah emphasized that an AI‑based analysis of information available on Multi‑Agency Centre (MAC) platforms should be undertaken to create robust standard operating procedures (SOPs) that can counter a range of national security challenges, from information warfare to bio‑security threats.

Conference Highlights and Participants

The hybrid event attracted over 850 participants, including Union Home Secretary Govind Mohan, Intelligence Bureau Director Mahesh Dixit, and heads of the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF). Directors General of Police from states and union territories, young frontline officers, and domain experts joined virtually.

Day‑one deliberations covered counter‑terrorism response, intelligence fusion through MAC, a vision document on narcotics control, the detection and deportation of illegal migrants, a cyber‑crime policy framework, and Pakistan’s proxy warfare.

Shah highlighted the need for accelerated training under the MHA’s PRAHAAR scheme, speedy trials for fugitives, the use of trial‑in‑absentia provisions, and an integrated approach to investigating Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) cases.

The second day will focus on sub‑aerial threat landscapes, formulation of counter‑measures, and safeguarding the blue economy.

In line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s directive, the NSSC has been held annually in a hybrid format since 2021, leveraging grassroots officers’ experience alongside domain experts to address India’s most pressing security challenges.

Why This Matters

BozokMedia analysis shows that a coordinated AI‑driven approach to migrant detection and rapid deportation can significantly reduce illegal entry points, thereby strengthening India’s internal security architecture and sending a clear deterrent signal to transnational networks.

"AI‑enabled MAC analytics will become the backbone of India’s proactive security posture," says Dr. Renu Sharma, senior security analyst.
