“Poor people of the country will be the main beneficiary of a strong, indigenous, dependable, and self-reliant digital infrastructure.

Such users require access to private cloud services through private 5G networks.

BharOS comes with no default apps. This means that users are not forced to use apps that they may not be familiar with or that they may not trust.

Additionally, this approach allows users to have more control over the permissions that apps have on their device,.........

.......as they can choose to only allow apps that they trust to access certain features or data on their device.
