They will also delve into pivotal subjects including review of the ongoing transformation process, training matters, HR management aspects and issues impacting serving personnel and veterans,” the Army said in a statement.
“The Army Commanders’ Conference, with its broad scope, ensures the Indian Army remains progressive, forward-looking, adaptive, and future ready,” it added.
The upcoming Army Commanders' Conference is being organised in a hybrid format, in which the Army Commanders and other senior officers will meet virtually on the first day, thereafter the remaining deliberations will be held in physical format.
The Army Commanders' Conference is an apex-level biannual event that is held in April and October every year. The conference is an institutional platform for deliberations at the conceptual level, facilitating important policy decisions for the Indian Army.
