Defence Minister Rajnath Singh will address the Indian Navy’s Commanders’ Conference in New Delhi from October 22 to 24. This event is especially significant due to the ongoing ‘Operation Sindoor’ and the Navy’s commitment to improving its operational readiness.
The Indian Navy is working hard to boost its combat capabilities and strengthen collaboration with the Army, Air Force, and Coast Guard. This initiative is crucial for tackling new threats and showcasing India’s maritime power in the Indian Ocean and Indo-Pacific regions. Singh and Cabinet Secretary TV Somanathan will touch on key national interests and strategize for achieving Viksit Bharat 2047, a vision for India’s development by its centenary in 2047.
The conference will serve as a vital platform for discussions on strategic matters, enabling interaction among top officials, including the Chief of Defence Staff and Chief of Air Staff. They aim to improve joint planning and resource optimization for operational readiness. Topics on the agenda include the Navy’s operational strategies, progress in digitization, and the role of emerging technologies like AI, Big Data, and Machine Learning in shaping future defense strategies.
Recent research highlights a growing reliance on technology in military operations. According to a 2022 report by the International Institute for Strategic Studies, countries investing in technological advancements are better prepared for modern conflicts. This trend reinforces the Navy’s pursuit of innovation.
Overall, this conference is not just a routine meeting but a cornerstone for India’s military and strategic future.
