Delivering the first Dr L.M. Singhvi Memorial lecture on “Law, Technology & Society: Dynamics”, Kalam suggested creation of a unified intelligence agency, enactment of a law with stringent punishments, creation of sense of awareness among citizens, implementation of National Citizen Identity Card Scheme and equitable national development for inclusive growth.

Stating that nations have electronically connected all their economic, defence and national security establishments, he said such establishments could be the targets of cyber attacks during a conflict or to create instabilities in the country.
