article/opinion/columns/5g- network-internet-subscribers- india-digital-technology- 7997100/ - In the intro, mention the functioning of the optical fibre.
- In the body, mention the importance of the optical fibre network as India seeks to adopt the 5G technology. In the next part mention that Indian manufacturers have a strong presence across the value chain, with India having a manufacturing capacity of 100 million fibre km. In the challenges mention cheap imports from China, Indonesia and South Korea. In the way forward mention the need for the investment in R&D, PIL scheme, development of intellectual property in critical aspects of digital connectivity etc.
- Conclude by mentioning the need to unlock the full potential of India’s optical fibre industry and enable India to emerge as a major manufacturing and technology hub.

Very generic answer, need to work on the content.
In the intro, you have just repeated the question statement. Talk a bit about optical fibres-optical fibre is actually a transmission medium to carry signals over long distances at very high speeds.(works on principles of total internal reflection).
In next part about India’s position give some data- India’s annual optic fibre manufacturing capacity is around 100 million fibre km (fkm) and the domestic consumption is around 46 million fkm. India is also exporting optical fibre to over 132 countries.
In challenges, you have missed the most important one- Cheaper imports (China, Indonesia and South Korea are dumping their products in India at rates lower than the market price). Other points can be made concise in this part.
Way forward is exclusively asked, so try mentioning 2-3 points- need to invest in R&D, offer production-linked incentive schemes to support indigenous high-tech manufacturing and develop intellectual property in critical aspects of digital connectivity.
These are content based questions, try reading about the issues too first so that you have holistic preparation for the topic, otherwise answer will always be lacking in some respect.
Keep practicing. 🙂

In intro you have written about 5G technology, that’s fine.. But it would be better if you could substantiate the statement given in the question ( how optical fibre is the backbone?).. You could just mention the function of optical fibres- used as a transmission medium to carry signals over long distances at very high speeds.
Next part about India’s standing is missing- you could mention some facts such as India’s annual optic fibre manufacturing capacity is around 100 million fibre km (fkm) and the domestic consumption is around 46 million fkm. India is also exporting optical fibre to over 132 countries.
Challenges and suggestions are fine, you have mentioned some good points.
Conclusion is decent.
Keep practicing. 🙂
