  Dear Friends,

The International Institute of Security and Safety Management (IISSM) may not be unknown to you. It is a registered non-profit educational organisation, pledged towards promoting professionalism in security industry. Working as its Executive President & CEO, I have, under the aegis of the India First Foundation, a trust dedicated towards restoring the continuity of India's civilisational past, since written a book titled "Intelligence Imperatives for India". The Deputy Prime Minister of India released the book, along with four other publications, at a function on February 28, 2004.

"Intelligence Imperatives for India" deals with threat perception and analysis in respect of India in the broader context of international geopolitical situation. There is also an in-depth discussion of internal security situation of India in all its nuances. As a critic has said, "The book is unique in the sense it covers at one place all aspects of security, such as, interplay of national security interests vis-à-vis overall geo-strategic scenario, especially in the context of neo-terrorism, information security, maritime security, environmental security and nuclear vulnerability of India." Mr. K.C. Pant, Deputy Chairman, Planning Commission, Government of India, who has written the 'Foreword', concluded, "The author has brought out in a lucid style the various facets of the fast changing security environment and the role of intelligence in taking suitable measures to protect national interest. I have no doubt that this book would be useful for experts as well as students of national security."

It is also my proud privilege to reproduce what the President of India Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam has observed,
