Army chief chairs top meet to outline goals in the run-up to 2047

Army chief General Upendra Dwivedi on Monday chaired a meeting of his top generals to outline the army’s strategy and priorities during the Amrit Kaal and align the force’s goals with the government’s vision of making India a developed country and a significant global player 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 army’s transformation over the next two decades,” the army said in a statement. The senior leadership engaged in discussions to define the army’s role in the overarching 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, and to protect our national interests in synergy with the other services,” the statement said. Monday’s discussions reaffirmed the army’s commitment to transforming itself into a future-ready force that is not only capable of defending national interests but also contributing significantly to the vision of Viksit Bharat@2047, the statement added.
