Six months after General Bipin Rawat’s demise, India still awaits its new CDS
FirstpostThe importance of having a CDS lies in the crucial role he is required to play as the formal ‘one point’ source of advice to the government on operational and administrative matters pertaining to the military Nearly six months after the tragic death of General Bipin Rawat, then Chief of Defence Staff, in a helicopter crash in the Nilgiris, the government issued a notification on 6 June amending the Service rules of the Army, Navy and Air Force. The CDS acts as the principal military advisor to the Defence Minister on all matters related to the tri-Services and military advisor to the Nuclear Command Authority. This initiative was driven jointly by the CDS led by Headquarters Integrated Defence Staff, the three Services, and other verticals of the Ministry of Defence, including DRDO, Public Sector Undertakings and Ordnance Factories. The importance of having a CDS as the country’s highest-ranking military officer lies in the crucial role he is required to play as the formal ‘one point’ source of advice to the government on operational and administrative matters pertaining to the military.
