About BharOS

BharOS is an Indian government-funded project to develop a free and open-source operating system (OS). The project aims to reduce the dependence on foreign OS in smartphones and promote the use of locally developed technology. BharOS comes with No Default Apps (NDA). This means that there are no default apps.Users can download the apps they want to use. The idea is to allow users to have more control over the permissions that apps have on their device, as they can choose to only download apps that they trust to access certain features or data on their devices. The OS provides access to trusted apps from organisation-specific Private App Store Services (PASS). A PASS provides access to a curated list of apps that is said to be thoroughly vetted and meet certain security and privacy standards.
