Defence Minister Shri Rajnath Singh launched ‘Project Udbhav’, a joint collaboration of Indian Army and United Service Institution of India, to promote indigenous discourse through exploration and integration of the country’s ancient strategic acumen into contemporary military domain.
- The necessity of this project is underscored by a critical understanding: while present-day military concepts, prevalent globally, have been largely shaped by the research and doctrines of western armies, they do not wholly suffice the unique, localised requirements and the rich cultural-strategic legacy of the Indian Army.
- Through the project, the Indian Army acknowledges that the nation is a treasure trove of ancient texts & manuscripts that delineate sophisticated, varied and contextually rich strategies in statecraft, warfare & diplomacy.
