Defence and Security Alert - DSAlert.Org

Defence and security being one of the most significant concerns in today's world and particularly in India, this domain requires total objectivity and true professionalism as the related information directly affects the life of our people.

Necessity is the mother of invention, goes the adage! Yet, it is not always easy to identify the necessity factor in the crowded media space and explore it further to ensure useful innovations. In this cut-throat world where TRP rules and the rush for eyeballs reigns supreme, accurate and authentic information warrants a credible platform to spread awareness among the people.

Having an impeccable track record in publishing and media for more than 75 years, it is our moral responsibility to sensitise the nation on the most important aspects of human life, defence and security. Defence and Security Alert (DSA) is a thought-provoking initiative in this regard.

The honour of publishing the magazine has been entrusted to Ocean Media Pvt. Ltd., a company of Prabhat Prakashan-Ocean Books group of companies. Mr. Pawan Agrawal is the group CEO. He also heads team DSA as publisher and CEO. This venture has been conceptualised under his guidance in close concert with our Editor-in-Chief Mr. Manvendra Singh, well known defence journalist, columnist and a former member of Indian Parliament and many distinguished thought leaders and defence and security professionals.

DSA believes securing India is not restricted to defending its borders, but is the sum total of security of an individual in society and nation, allowing every citizen to live in peace, harmony and prosperity.

DSA is a platform for the people concerned about the Defence And Security of India and the world. It is not only a world class monthly magazine but a thought process that needs to be disseminated among all Indians, especially YOUTHS who are the future of the country.

DSA will Enlighten, Enable and Empower Indians and people around the world by highlighting achievements as well as deficiencies and act as facilitators for improving Defence And Security environment and congruent good governance.

DSA aspires to feature paradigm changing in-depth analyses on Defence, Security, Safety and Surveillance etc., focusing on present and developing scenarios.

DSA envisions for itself the role of a Catalyst creating Awareness in India and around the world for a Safe and Secure neighbourhood, cities, countries and the world.

DSA also covers hardware and software industries dealing in Defence And Security equipment and services. Since India is one of the biggest importers of Defence And Security equipment and offers other business opportunities in this arena, the subject is of utmost business importance.

The new wave monthly magazine promises to spread awareness through expert opinions, domain-specific analyses, strategy insights, essays, features and columns on all aspects of defence and security. DSA will depict the life and hardships of defence and security personnel, their golden moments and news and views on national and international events.
