News Topical, Digital Desk : Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi has openly advocated the theatreisation of the armed forces and said it will have to be done sooner or later if we have to have better coordination with all agencies during a war.
Differing views on theatreisation
The Army Chief's statement came after the Air Force and Navy chiefs expressed different views on theaterization
On the occasion of a book release at the Monext Centre, General Dwivedi while talking to the media said that we just have to see how much time it takes and how it can be done in a better way. It is worth noting that due to the emergence of different views on theatreisation, there was no consensus on this plan. After the statement of the Army Chief, all kinds of doubts will be put to rest.
General Dwivedi also explained why theaterization is necessary
General Dwivedi also explained why theaterization is necessary. He said that whenever we are in war, it is not only the Army that is fighting. We also have the Border Security Force and the Indo-Tibetan Border Police. The three armed forces, defense cyber agencies and defense space agencies also work. Apart from this, ISRO, Civil Defense, Railways, NCC, state and central administration are also involved in the war with us.
Let us tell you that the statement of the Army Chief has come two weeks after the views of the chiefs of the other two armed forces on theaterization. In the two-day Ran Samvad seminar held in the month of August at the Army War College in Mhow, Air Force Chief Air Chief Marshal AP Singh and Navy Chief Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi had presented their views on theaterization and clarified that the views of both the forces are different regarding this plan.
differences will be resolved in the best possible manner
At the same time, the Army Chief had said that the armed forces should not come under any pressure in order to advance the theater command. CDS General Anil Chauhan had said that the differences between the three armies regarding the establishment of the theater command will be resolved in the best possible way in the interest of the country.
72 thousand NCC warriors cooperated in Operation Sindoor. General Dwivedi made a special mention of the important role played by citizens for national security during Operation Sindoor.
National security is not just the job of soldiers
He said that during Operation Sindoor, 72000 NCC (National Cadet Corps) warriors worked as volunteers for civil defence and were at the forefront in becoming the support system. Citing the example of Ukraine, he said that national security is not only the job of soldiers, but common citizens also have to shoulder responsibility in protecting the country.
Speaking at the Georgian centennial celebrations, the army chief said Ukraine had shown the world what happens when ordinary citizens take responsibility for the country's defence.
MSMEs and startups are undercapitalized
Defence corridor benefits from reduction in GST rate General Dwivedi thanked the government on GST reform and said that this will give a big boost to our defence corridor as more and more investment will come. MSMEs and startups have less capital, this will help them a lot.
He said that the army mainly focuses on three things- research and development, training and modernisation. All the three sectors will benefit from the reduction in GST.
