National Counter Terrorism Centre (NCTC) Of India Needed

India has plethora of intelligence agencies and security agencies. These include Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), Aviation Research Centre (ARC), Intelligence Bureau (IB), National Technical Research Organisation (NTRO) and Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA), etc.

Presently, intelligence agencies of India are operating in a decentralised manner. There is no centralised authority or Ministry that can coordinate or collaborate between different intelligence agencies. Further, there is no Parliamentary oversight of these intelligence agencies as well.

Home Minister P. Chidambaram decided to bring all these agencies under an umbrella organisation. He proposed the national counter terrorism centre (NCTC) of India under which all these intelligence agencies would report and operate.
