Operation Sindoor underlines Indian Army’s shift from reactive to proactive deterrence, says General Upendra Dwivedi

The need for the Indian Army to move from a reactive approach to a proactive deterrence posture, while adapting to emerging forms of warfare through technology, innovation and multi-domain capabilities, was emphasised by Chief of Army Staff General Upendra Dwivedi, drawing on key lessons from Operation Sindoor.

He was addressing officers during a visit to the College of Defence Management (CDM) in Secunderabad on March 10, where he spoke about the evolving security environment and the transformation underway within the force. The interaction was with participants of the 21st Higher Defence Management Course, along with faculty members and permanent staff of the institution.
