This Survey is based upon the security issues and challenges face in India. Researchers face different problems
like authenticity, interoperability, privacy, data confidentiality, low range of internet signal, power supply,
power backup, fault tolerance, reliability,cost, poor support, and most important awareness and skills.Here we
discuss about some challenges and risk that already exists in India which must take care and improve by
