To address this concern, our "We make Cities Safer" initiative is for building safe cities by bringing our best-of-breed and avant-garde security technologies that would help both the public and private institutions safeguard lives and property in the real and virtual world. We at NEC shall actively contribute and engage with central & state governments to drive E-gov projects in India, participate in infrastructure security projects and take keen interest in national security initiatives."
