During his visit, the COAS was briefed on the modern training methodologies and infrastructure adopted by the Centre. He commended all ranks for their dedication, discipline, and sustained excellence in training, acknowledging their significant contribution not only to the Army’s operational strength but also to nation building.

In his interaction with the troops and instructional staff, General Dwivedi highlighted the growing importance of technological integration in training. He emphasised that future soldiers must be professionally competent, agile, and technologically adept to operate next-generation equipment.

This, he noted, is vital for maintaining high levels of operational readiness and keeping pace with the rapid technological advances shaping the modern battlefield.
