“The Surgical Strikes of 2016 and the Air Strikes of 2019 are examples of our dedicated efforts towards countering terrorism. We are committed to defend Bharat’s citizens and interests at home and abroad from all threats of terrorism.”
This is an open-ended, continuing commitment to defend citizens and interests from terrorism rather than a single completable deliverable. The government maintains a counter-terrorism posture through security operations, strengthened legal tools (including terrorism provisions added under the new criminal laws) and inter-agency coordination. As an ongoing security objective without a defined end-state, it is assessed as in continuous effect. Partial (ongoing).
We have established the position of Chief of Defense staff (CDS) for better coordination in the military. We will further establish the military theatre commands for more efficient operations.
We will vastly expand domestic defence manufacturing and exports of Made in Bharat defence equipment. This effort will be facilitated by accelerating indigenisation in major Air and Land Equipment Platforms.
We will expand Bharat’s defence footprint across strategic locations and partner with friendly countries to protect Bharat’s and the Indian Ocean Region’s security interests.
