Govt Considering To Develop, Operating System: MoS IT

Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology Rajeev Chandrasekhar said that no funds have been allocated by the government to develop an Indian mobile operating system yet. Operating systems play a key role in weaving together applications in a computer or mobile device with hardware. At present the market is dominated by Google's Android or Apple's iOS operating system in the mobile devices segment and Microsoft Windows in the personal computer segment.

 

"The government is considering development of the Operating System, as part of the government's efforts to create a vibrant design and innovation ecosystem in Electronics and Information Technology," Chandrasekhar said. In response to a question asked by Congress MP Karti P Chidambaram whether the OS will be available only in India, Chandrasekhar said there is no policy in the government that restricts the export and use of Indian software products outside India.
