COAS Gen Dwivedi chairs first meeting of top Army leadership on future course of action

New Delhi: The Indian Army's senior leadership gathered in New Delhi on 19th August 2024 for a crucial discussion chaired by General Upendra Dwivedi, the Chief of the Army Staff (COAS). This marks the first high-level meeting under General Dwivedi’s leadership since he assumed the role of COAS on 30th June 2024.

The meeting, which will continue through 20th August, is being attended by the General Officer Commanding-in-Chiefs (GOC-in-Cs) of the Indian Army's seven commands.

Today’s focus of the discussion was on charting the future course of the Indian Army during the Amrit Kaal, aligning with the Government of India's Vision to make India a developed country, a significant global player and one of the most desirable countries to live in 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 Indian Army’s transformation over the next two decades.

The discussions were centred around ongoing transformational initiatives by the Indian Army and its contribution towards achieving the objective of Viksit Bharat@2047.
