Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh laid the foundation stone for India's second very low frequency (VLF) communication transmission station in Vikarabad district, Telangana, on Tuesday.
During the ceremony, the Defence Minister stressed the strategic significance of the VLF station in enhancing India's maritime communication capabilities. He explained that this facility will enable secure, real-time communication between India's naval forces on land and at sea, which is essential for operational success.
Singh highlighted how vital secure communication is in modern conflicts, noting that reliable communication can be a decisive factor in determining outcomes. He said, "The VLF station we are establishing today is a key initiative to strengthen communication for our maritime forces. It will ensure strong, real-time connectivity between forces on land and at sea. This station is part of our vision to secure our maritime interests... A lack of secure, real-time communication can be the decisive factor between victory and defeat, making this VLF station indispensable."
Singh also pointed out the rapid advancements in communication technology over the past few decades, emphasizing how innovations that once seemed unimaginable have now become reality. "Earlier, what seemed to be part of the imagination has now become reality, and this has been made possible through advancements in communication. If we look at the progress in communication technology over the last 2-3 decades, we can see the significant strides made. During the lockdown, despite the closure of schools and colleges, communication technology ensured that education, healthcare, and essential services continued with minimal disruption," he added.
Earlier this year, the Indian Navy selected Telangana as the location for its second VLF communication transmission station. The station will be located in the Damagudem forest area near Puduru in Vikarabad mandal and will support communication with naval ships and submarines.
