00:00innovations forward.

00:02We're also incorporating blockchain technology

00:04in a technology-based vendor registration model, which

00:07is under progress in collaboration

00:08with MITEI and CDAC.

00:11As far as secure space-based vehicle tracking and convoy

00:14management system, that is already commencing with NAVIC.

00:18And of course, Sambhav phone, which you're already aware

00:21that this phone we are using.

00:23And this time during our talks, border talks,

00:26in the October month, most of the communication

00:29was through this phone.

00:32As far as the third pillar is concerned,

00:33that is system process functioning,

00:37we are looking at data analytics and defining

00:39the single source of truth.

00:42In the future, we are looking at data integration.

00:44So there are two things in this.

00:46As you know, Army is different from other services

00:50where the empowerment or the center of excellence

00:52starts from the battalion.

00:54Therefore, the maximum delegation

00:55must take place there.

00:57But today, the maximum centralization

00:59of the orders or powers or authority

01:02is at the Army headquarter.

01:04This is only feasible to delegate

01:06once you have the data centricity in the center,

01:09but the delegation at the lower level.

01:11Here, the artificial intelligence

01:12will play a pivotal role.

01:14For example, if a vehicle gets condemned

01:17and you want to get the vehicle released,

01:19it takes the complete chain of command

01:20by the time it reaches and that gets released.

01:22But with the artificial intelligence,

01:24the moment the vehicle gets condemned, within 24 hours,

01:27the release order will be automatically generated.

01:30So that is the kind of thing we want

01:31to achieve by year 2025 end.

01:35As for the de-layering of headquarter,

01:36this we are looking at.

01:38For any communication in Army, it takes six to seven layers.

01:41We are wanting to de-layer.

01:43We are also looking at skip echelon system.

01:45That is simultaneously addressing all the headquarters

01:49and the highest headquarter, which

01:50is supposed to get the descent, must get the fastest.

01:54Modification of acquisition process, which is overdue,

01:57we are looking forward to.

01:59And the way year of reforms, which

02:01has been announced by our Raksha Mantri-ji,

02:04I'm sure this will get a major impetus.

02:10Coming on to the human resource management,

02:12it's a subject in itself.

02:13I would not like to cover too many things in this.

02:16But just to tell you that the upgradation of the HR potential

02:21and mass is something which is our aim.

02:23While ensuring the welfare of rank and file,

02:26veterans, VNREs, and their dependents.

02:29As for the Agnipath is concerned,

02:301,23,000 Agni-Vs are presently there.

02:33And we are getting a good feedback

02:35from the battalion commanders.

02:37They are fast on uptake, enthusiastic,

02:39and keen to do well.

02:42As for the SSB is concerned, you are well aware

02:44that the SSB reforms have been undertaken.

02:47And today, we have increased our intake,

02:50which was 1,300 per year in 2022 to 1,900,

02:55which is projected in 2024.

02:57So that is the kind of officer intake

02:59which we are ensuring by carrying out

03:01some reforms in the service selection board.

03:04As for the women officers are concerned,

03:06we are doing a remarkable job in the field.

03:09Presently, we have 1732 women officers serving with us.

03:13And we have approved a study to increase this number to 2037.

03:17In other ranks, we have approximately 310 women soldiers.

03:22And we are looking forward to more

03:24during the question and answer session I will take on

03:26as far as the progress on this side is concerned.

03:29About women empowerment, all women skydiving display team

03:33of Indian Army shall be raised in 2025.

03:36That's our endeavor.

03:39You'll be happy to note that recruitment

03:40in territorial army has commenced again.

03:43And this time, we have delegated this

03:45to the commanding officer for first 30%,

03:47so that the recruitment can take the fastest possible pace.

03:53Institution of an army subida major.

03:56This is something to connect jamaas directly

03:59with the army chief.

04:01So wherever I go, the army subida major accompanies me.

04:04When I am taking a briefing at the higher headquarters,

04:06he is meeting the JCOs and men of that.

04:10And also, this has been now given out

04:12for the commands also.

04:14Three of the seven commands have already instituted

04:16that others will be completed by 31st Jan.

04:19So the gap or the communication gap between a jawaan

04:24and the senior most hierarchy will keep getting close

04:27with every passing day.

04:32As far as the effort to upscale our military training

04:36institutions is concerned,

04:38we want that to come to the world repute.

04:41And we are looking at institute of national importance

04:46for our army war college.

04:47The case has already been taken up for that.

04:50Also, we are opening up the army war college

04:52for the foreign students.

04:53As you're aware, the junior command

04:55and senior command were already open,

04:57but now we are opening the higher command course also.
