National Defence Academy : Vision 2022

The National Defence Academy, first of its kind in the world, amalgamates tri services ethos in a most professional and time tested manner. The visionaries, thinkers planners and architects who conceived and executed the vision of a Tri Service Academy 60 years ago, created a setup which was way ahead of its times - and is doing so, firmly put in place a challenge for their successors.

Fulfilling tri service training requirements, in addition to academic curriculum and increasingly high content of Information Technology in all domains of warfare, demands a vision. A vision to be able to crystal graze into the future and foresee the unforeseen changes. "The Long Term Perspective Plan of the NDA, Vision 2022" has been compiled with an eye on the future. The planning team projected itself into the future to visualise what would be the role of the Academy in 2022, and asked the question as to what technologies were likely to be available in that day and age, and what qualities would the Armed Forces of the future like their young officers to imbibe, in order to face future challenges. Based on this crystal ball gazing, the long term training and infrastructure requirements have been drawn up and the way ahead for the Academy outlined in conformity with Five Year Plan periods upto year 2022.

Based on the long term perspective plan of the Academy, our Vision has been clearly spelt out, so as to ensure that all of us move together as a closely bonded team to achieve our common goal to impart quality training to produce future military leaders who can lead by examples in all spheres of their career.

Explained: What is Army Aviation Corps, the youngest Corps of the Indian Army

A look at the Army Aviation Corps’ history and its relevance in modern day battlefields, including in Counter Insurgency and Counter Terrorism (CI-CT) operations. Representative Image The Army Aviation Corps (AAC), the youngest Corps of the Indian Army, celebrated its 35th Corps Day on November 1. We take a look at the arm that adds an air dimension to the Army’s capabilities, its history, and its relevance in modern day battlefields, including Counter Insurgency and Counter Terrorism (CI-CT) operations. The roots of Army Aviation Corps The origin of the AAC can be traced back to the raising of the Army Aviation wing of the Royal Air Force in India in 1942, and the subsequent formation of the first Indian Air Observation Post in August 1947.

That time when India took half of Pakistan to make it pay for a motorcycle

In 1947, British officer Yahya Khan offered his colleague 1,000 rupees for his spiffy red motorcycle. His colleague, Sam Manekshaw, agreed. But before Khan could pay, he was off to what was going to become Pakistan. The British split its Indian colony, and things on the subcontinent have been pretty tense ever since. To top it all off, Yahya Khan didn't pay for the motorbike. But he would, even if it took almost 25 years. The Partition of India was much more than the splitting of the British Raj into two independent states. It was a catastrophic split that tore apart the country and created millions of refugees, cost millions of lives, and split the armed forces of the country in two, all based on religion. Violence erupted almost immediately between the two groups on such a large scale that much of it has never been forgotten or forgiven. Animosity continued between both sides for decades, and the two have fought war after war because of the myriad issues left unaddressed. By 1970...
