New Delhi: Defence minister Rajnath Singh will on Thursday review India’s national security challenges and military preparedness at a Joint Commanders’ Conference in Jaipur, coinciding with the first anniversary of Operation Sindoor.
The conference, bringing together top commanders of the Army, Air Force and Navy, will be held on May 7 and 8 under the theme ‘Military Capability in New Domains’. Chief of Defence Staff Anil Chauhan will also attend.
Operation Sindoor, carried out on May 7 last year, involved precision strikes on nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in response to the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians.
In a post on X, Rajnath Singh said, “Tomorrow, May 7, I shall be in Bihar to attend the swearing-in ceremony in Patna. Later in the evening, I shall be visiting Rajasthan to attend the Joint Commanders’ Conference to be held in Jaipur. Looking forward.”
The conference agenda includes strengthening indigenisation and promoting self-reliance in defence production through innovation and civil-military collaboration.
Discussions will focus on emerging domains such as cyber, space and cognitive warfare, amid increasing use of artificial intelligence and unmanned systems in modern conflict. The meeting is also expected to outline strategies for building future-ready capabilities.
Officials said the event will feature demonstrations of new technologies developed domestically and the release of doctrines related to future warfare and operational strategies.
The conference is intended as a platform for senior military leadership to exchange strategies and best practices on national security.
