## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE FOR ELECTRONICS AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (SHRI RAJEEV CHANDRASEKHAR)

- (a): Blockchain technology is a distributed ledger technology. It enables tamper evidence and immutability  features  to  digital  artifacts  through  reliable  verification  from  the  single  source  of  truth. Blockchain Technology uses established cryptographic algorithms to enable the security, which promises the increased transparency and robust technology against many security threats.
- (b):  To disseminate information / educate the citizens, society and other stake holder/users, MeitY has launched  INDIAai  portal  (https://indiaai.gov.in)  on  May  30,  2020.  INDIAai  is  the  National  Artificial Intelligence (AI) Portal of India - a central hub for everything on AI in India and beyond. It is the single central  knowledge  hub  on  artificial  intelligence  and  allied  fields  for  aspiring  entrepreneurs,  students, professionals, academics, and others.
- (c):    Government is aware of 'Deepfake Technology' which enables to alter/ create the image or video of  a  person  with  any  other  person's  image  or  video  using  artificial  neural  networks  and  deep learning/machine  learning  techniques.  These  do  represent  security  risk  for  individuals,  enterprises  and nations.

The  newly  notified  Information  Technology  (Intermediary  Guidelines  and  Digital  Media  Ethics  Code) Rules,  2021,  mandates  all  intermediaries  to  take  all  reasonable  and  practicable  measures  to  remove  or disable access to such content which is in the nature of impersonation in an electronic form, including artificially morphed images of such individual, hosted, stored, published or transmitted by it.

MeitY through a programme, namely, Information Security Education & Awareness (ISEA), has been creating awareness among users. A dedicated website for information security awareness (https://www.infosecawareness.in) provides relevant awareness material.

Further for evolving technologies and their misuse like this, the Government continuously interacts with the stakeholders including identification of possible legislative changes.

The project was initiated on 31 st October 2018 for a duration of 3 years.

This is envisaged to be achieved by leveraging the grassroot agencies to facilitate efficient delivery of and easy access to services to citizens within their villages.

In addition to the 700 villages that are being funded by MeitY for implementation,  4279 villages are being made digital by CSC e-Governance Service India Limited (CSC-SPV) under its own initiative through funds sourced from Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).

## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE FOR ELECTRONICS AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (SHRI RAJEEV CHANDRASEKHAR)

(a): Government of India's objective is to make India a global leader in the Electronics System Design and  Manufacturing  (ESDM)  sector.  Ministry  of  Electronics  and  Information  Technology  (MeitY) notified Electronics Manufacturing Clusters (EMC) scheme in October, 2012 to provide support for the creation  of  world-class  infrastructure  along  with  common  facilities  and  amenities  for  attracting investments  in  the  electronics  sector.  Under  Electronics  Manufacturing  Clusters  (EMC)  scheme, Nineteen (19) Greenfield Electronics Manufacturing Clusters and Three (3) Common Facility Centres (CFCs)  accorded  approval  in  Fifteen  (15)  states  across  the  country.  These  EMCs/CFCs  are  under implementation.

Based  on  further  requirement  for  strengthening  of  infrastructure  for  creation  of  robust  electronics manufacturing  ecosystem  in  the  country,  MeitY  introduced  Modified  Electronics  Manufacturing Clusters  (EMC  2.0)  Scheme  on  1 st April,  2020.  Its  objective  is  to  provide  infrastructure  support  for attracting  major  electronics  manufacturers  along  with  their  supply  chain  to  set  up  their  production facility in the country through such clusters. Under Modified Electronics Manufacturing Clusters (EMC 2.0) scheme, till now, One (1) application for setting up of EMC project in the state of Andhra Pradesh has been approved.

- (b)  and  (e):    Under  EMC/  EMC  2.0  scheme,  no  Electronics  Manufacturing  Cluster  exists/  is  being established in the State of Tamil Nadu. However, Tamil Nadu has emerged as a preferred destination for electronics manufacturing as many companies have established their operations in the State and taken benefit  from  Modified  Special  Incentive  Package  Scheme  (M-SIPS)  of  Government  of  India.  List  of such units is enclosed at Annexure-I.
- (c):    Details of EMCs comprising the investment received and employment generated are enclosed at

## Annexure-II.

- (d):   The details of major electronics manufacturing companies setting up of their units in these EMCs are enclosed at Annexure-III.
