The term 'IndARC', sometimes seen in the news, is the name of

Describes a deliberate national policy and practice of indigenising technology and supply routes (example: Rohini sounding rockets and ISRO creation).

A student could infer that India has institutional experience and policy precedent for developing indigenous high-technology systems (like radars) and then check defence procurement or manufacturer records for IndARC.

Explicitly states that steps were taken to increase India's capacity in production of defence equipment.

Use this as a basis to investigate whether radar systems (such as IndARC) are listed among domestically produced defence equipments or manufacturers in government/DRDO publications.

Notes that India had started indigenous weapons manufacture and modernised its armed forces (historical pattern of domestic defence production).

Combine this pattern with contemporary defence industry sources to see if IndARC appears as a domestically manufactured radar inducted into the forces.

Gives an example of India developing complex indigenous space systems (IRS satellites, PSLV), showing technical capability to build advanced electronic systems.

A student could reasonably extend technological capability from indigenous space electronics to potential indigenous radar development and then search defence technology catalogs or manufacturer announcements for IndARC.

Lists 'Defence industries' under Union List, implying central policy and institutional responsibility over defence production.

This suggests checking central government/Ministry of Defence sources or official procurement/indigenisation programs to confirm whether IndARC was developed and inducted indigenously.

Shows India establishes scientific polar base stations (Dakshin Gangotri) and conducts research in faraway polar regions.

A student could infer India has institutional experience in polar research and therefore could plausibly fund an Arctic observatory; verify by checking Indian polar programmes or ministry records.

Describes Indian-operated scientific observatories (e.g., Kodaikanal) as an example of national observatory infrastructure.

Use the pattern that India runs observatories to justify checking whether a similarly named facility (IndARC) is an Indian observatory focused on the Arctic.

Reports Indian establishment of ocean-monitoring systems (DOARS, National Tsunami Early Warning Centre), showing capability in marine/ocean instrumentation and networks.

Combine this with the idea of underwater observatories to assess plausibility that India could deploy an underwater Arctic observatory; check technical programme documents or ministry of earth sciences outputs.

Explains that oceanographic research centres and long-term ocean observation are expensive and often international, implying such facilities exist and may be collaborative.

A student could infer that an Arctic underwater observatory might be run by a national agency or international partnership and should appear in oceanographic programme lists.

Notes that polar regions' activities are limited largely to scientific research, indicating any established facility in Arctic/Antarctic is likely scientific in purpose.

Use this rule to interpret the name 'IndARC' (if indicating Arctic) as likely a scientific installation; then look for corroborating programme or treaty-era records.
