The Chief of Army Staff General Manoj Pande on June 18 said that transformational reforms are underway in the country’s armed forces even as the country’s active borders and equally challenging internal threats mandate a very higher level of operational preparedness.
General Pande presided over the Combined Graduation Parade (CGP) at the Air Force Academy, Dundigal, and formally inducted 165 cadets into the mainstream by presenting the ‘Wings and Brevets’ to the cadets of the flying branch, Indian Navy and Coast Guard who successfully underwent training.
Addressing the parade, the Indian Army Chief said that the reforms are underway in the armed forces in the human resources management and other domains such as capability development with focus on ‘Atmanirbhar Bharath’.
