Army Chief General Dhiraj Seth Unveils 'VIJAY' Roadmap for a Future-Ready Force

In a significant move to modernize India's land forces, the Chief of the Army Staff, General Dhiraj Seth, has unveiled the 'VIJAY' roadmap. This strategic framework is designed to transition the Indian Army into a future-ready, technology-enabled force capable of addressing the evolving complexities of modern warfare. As the nature of conflict shifts toward multi-domain operations—encompassing land, air, sea, cyber, and space—the 'VIJAY' roadmap serves as a blueprint for structural and operational transformation. The roadmap is anchored in four core pillars: enhancing multi-domain capabilities, fostering greater jointness among the three services, achieving Atmanirbharta (self-reliance) in defense manufacturing, and prioritizing soldier welfare. By emphasizing indigenous technology, the roadmap aligns with the broader national objective of reducing import dependency and bolstering the domestic defense industrial base. Furthermore, the focus on 'jointness' reflects the ongoing efforts to establish integrated theater commands, which are essential for seamless coordination and optimal resource utilization in a high-intensity combat environment.
