While we celebrate their Raising Day, I hope the focus on "absorption of new techniques" also includes looking after the welfare of our jawans on the ground with the latest equipment and facilities. A strong army needs strong support systems.

The symphony band concert open to the public is a brilliant idea. It fosters community spirit and pride. The Indian Army's legacy isn't just about combat; it's also about culture and connecting with the people it serves.
