General Manoj Pande, the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), stated on Thursday that the Agnipath scheme’s introduction has been a ground-breaking approach to recruiting and managing personnel that will guarantee the induction of younger personnel and bring more technologically savvy and focused soldiers into all ranks and files of the forces.
The plan will also guarantee that the finest personnel are kept on as core personnel at their end, according to General Manoj Pande, who was speaking at the convocation cum scroll presentation function at the CME (College of Military Engineering) in Pune.
General Manoj Pande also emphasizes the importance of cutting-edge technology in the armed forces. Approach every assignment not just as an engineer but as a problem solver and innovator, the Army Chief said. The technological progression in multiple domains today and the use of contemporary techniques and solutions in the realms of combat engineering must engage your attention. Gen. Pande also emphasized the role of the officers in the mentoring annexers.
In order to improve its capacity to visualize and simulate project scenarios, we must be adept at utilizing cutting-edge technologies like drone surveys, augmented and virtual reality, and their applications. The Army Chief emphasizes that new-age technology adoption should go beyond traditional methodology. According to him, there are four main reasons why the transformation is necessary: the evolving nature of war, the immense changes in socioeconomic conditions, the unprecedented high potential of technology for destruction, and the unparalleled trends in the geostrategic landscape.
We put in place a transformation roadmap a year ago to tackle these imperatives and impact the changing design, the Army Chief stated, emphasizing that steady progress was required to guarantee sustained attention and energy across all board pillars of the redesign roadmap.
