The top brass of Indian Army on Monday here held a discussion on ongoing transformation of the force. The meeting was the first high-level under Army Chief Upendra Dwivedi’s leadership since he assumed charge on June 30. The meeting, which will continue through Tuesday is being attended by the General Officer Commanding-in-Chiefs (GOC-in-Cs) of the Indian Army’s seven commands.
Monday’s focus of the discussion was on charting the future course of the Indian Army during the Amrit Kaal, aligning with the Government of India’s Vision to make India a developed country, a significant global player and one of the most desirable countries to live in by 2047. The forum provided an opportunity for the Indian Army’s top brass to brainstorm on strategic issues and set the direction for the Indian Army’s transformation over the next two decades. The discussions were centred around ongoing transformational initiatives by the Indian Army and its contribution towards achieving the objective of Viksit Bharat@2047. The senior leadership engaged in interactive discussions to define the Army’s role in the national vision and articulated the Indian Army’s Vision@2047 as:
“To transform into a modern, agile, adaptive, technology-enabled, and self-reliant future-ready force, capable of deterring and winning wars in a multi-domain environment across the spectrum of operations, to protect our national interests in synergy with the other Services.”
