Newly appointed Chief of Army Staff General Dhiraj Seth presents a “VIJAY” framework aimed at shaping the Indian Army’s future capabilities. According to reports, he commits to developing a technology-enabled and future-ready fighting force when he assumes charge. The roadmap is described as centering on multiple themes, including greater use of technology and strengthening joint operations with other services. Sources also state that the framework highlights Atmanirbharta, indicating a push toward greater self-reliance in defence-related capacities. In addition, the vision includes measures for soldier welfare, reflecting attention to personnel and support aspects alongside operational and capability development. While the two outlets frame the announcement slightly differently—one emphasizing the overall intent to modernise the Army and the other detailing the “VIJAY” elements—the core message across coverage is consistent: General Seth lays out a structured approach to modernisation that combines technological upgrades, improved jointness, self-reliance, and welfare priorities as guiding areas for the Army’s direction during his tenure.
