Here is what you need to know about India's NSAB

India's National Security Advisory Board (NSAB) is a high-level advisory body that provides strategic advice on national security issues to the Prime Minister and other senior officials of the Indian government. The board was established in 1998, soon after India conducted its nuclear tests.

The NSAB comprises a group of eminent experts and specialists from various fields, including defense, foreign affairs, science, technology, and intelligence. The board is headed by a Chairman, who is appointed by the Prime Minister, and comprises members who are appointed on a part-time basis.

The main function of the NSAB is to provide independent and objective advice to the government on matters related to national security, including strategic planning, threat assessments, defense policies, intelligence, and technology issues. The board also helps to co-ordinate the efforts of various government agencies involved in national security matters and to ensure coherence in policy-making.
