Multi Agency Centre – MAC

The states have been asked by the central government to share more intelligence through ‘Multi Agency Centre’ i.e., ‘MAC’.

Utility

  • States are often reluctant to share information on this platform.
  • It has several drawbacks in sharing important information at the right time.
  • The plan to integrate this system up to the district level has been going on for more than a decade.

About MAC:

  • MAC, a common counter-terrorism grid under the Intelligence Bureau, was started in the year 2001 after the Kargil War.
  • 28 organizations including Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW), Armed Forces and State Police are part of the ‘Multi Agency Centre’ (MAC).
  • Real-time intelligence inputs are shared on MAC by various security agencies.
  • Now functioning 24/7 as the nodal body for intelligence sharing, MAC coordinates with multiple agencies, representatives from various ministries, both at the Center and in the State.
