[[Ajit Doval]] is the current NSA, and has the same rank as a [[Union Council of Ministers|Union Cabinet Minister]].

== History ==
[[Brajesh Mishra]], then [[Principal Secretary to the Prime Minister of India|Principal Secretary to the Prime Minister]], was appointed as the first National Security Advisor of India. The post was created on 19 November 1998 by then government headed by [[Atal Bihari Vajpayee|Atal Bihari Bajpayee]].<ref>{{Cite web|last=Singh|first=Hemant|date=2019-08-12|title=List of National Security Advisor in India|url=https://www.jagranjosh.com/general-knowledge/list-of-national-security-advisor-in-india-1565602684-1|url-status=live|access-date=2021-02-17|website=Jagranjosh.com}}</ref> In 2004, a new government headed by [[Manmohan Singh]] was formed at the Centre. This government separated the office of NSA into ''foreign'' headed by former [[Foreign Secretary (India)|Foreign Secretary]] [[J.N. Dixit]] and ''internal'' headed by former [[Director of the Intelligence Bureau|Director, IB]] [[M. K. Narayanan|M.K. Narayanan]].<ref>{{Cite web|date=2004-05-27|title=JN Dixit Is NSA|url=https://www.financialexpress.com/archive/jn-dixit-is-nsa/106590/|url-status=live|access-date=2021-02-17|website=The Financial Express}}</ref> After the death of Dixit in 2005, the office was again fused and Narayanan became the full-time NSA.<ref>{{Cite news|date=2011-03-15|title=25259: After Dixit, India ponders role of its NSA and who will get the job|language=en-IN|work=The Hindu|url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/the-india-cables/the-cables/25259-After-Dixit-India-ponders-role-of-its-NSA-and-who-will-get-the-job/article14669690.ece|access-date=2021-02-17|issn=0971-751X}}</ref> He was then succeeded by former [[Foreign Secretary (India)|Foreign Secretary]] [[Shivshankar Menon]] in 2010.<ref name=":0" /> In 2014, the [[Narendra Modi|Modi]]-led government appointed former [[Director IB (India)|Director, IB]] [[Ajit Doval]] as the NSA.
