0
IDU
IDU

Recently, the union cabinet has boosted setting up of bus bay near the Indian Defence University Land in Gurugram. The cabinet de-notified 3 marlas of land overlapping with the NHAI and also approved a refund of Rs 1,82,719 by Haryana Govt to MoD. The land was acquired by MoD in 2011 from Haryana Govt and is now being acquired by the NHAI.

The expected number of people to be benefitted from this is approx. 12000-15000 including students, teaching/non-teaching staff and their family members apart from local inhabitants.

The Indian (National) Defence University:

The Indian Defence University or Indian National Defence University is being set up at Binola and Bilaspur, in Gurugram.

Land for setting up of the Defence University was acquired at Binola in Gurugram in September 2012. Part infrastructure development has commenced on the acquired land in December 2015.

The University will be located approximately 11 Kms from HQ National Security Guard, on Delhi – Jaipur highway towards Jaipur.

The Aim of the University:

The University will develop and propagate higher education in national security studies, defence management and defence technology and promote policy-oriented research on all aspects relating to national security, both internal and external.

It will promote coordination and interaction not only with Three Armed Services but also with other agencies i.e. Para Military Forces, Intelligence Services, Diplomats, Academicians, Strategic Planners, University Students and officers from Friendly Foreign Countries.

About Indian Defence University:

  1. The idea of a National Defence University was first conceived in 1967. It was later recommended by Kargil Review Committee and Group of Ministers in 2000.
  2. The University will be a teaching and affiliating University for the existing training institutions of the three Services like INA, AFA, NDA, IMA, OTA, NDC, CAW, etc.
  3. The university will offer higher education in National Security Studies, Defence Management and Defence Technology and promote policy-oriented research on all aspects relating to national security, both internal and external.
  4. Four new institutions/colleges will be set up as the IDU’s constituent colleges. These four colleges will go by the name – School of National Security Studies, School of Defence Technology, School of Defence Management and Centre for Distance and Open Learning (with regional centres of distance learning) and will be set up at the University’s main campus.
  5. Open and Distance Learning Programmes for Service personnel deployed in the far-flung area has also been considered.
  6. As is the case in existing Defence Universities across the world, Indian National Defence University is proposed to be governed by its own norms and will inculcate and promote coordination and interaction between the Armed Forces and other Government Agencies including friendly foreign countries.
  7. While the Defence Minister will be the proposed university’s Chancellor, the Chairman of Chiefs of Staff Committee will be the pro-chancellor and the President will act as a Visitor to the University.
  8. The whole project is being implemented in three phases spread over a period of 10 years and the total estimated cost of the project stands at Rs 2,072 crore.
  9. The IDU will provide for the holistic study of defence and strategic security challenges and 66% of students would be from the Armed Forceswhereas 33% of students would be drawn from other government agencies, police and civilian.
  10. The teaching faculty will comprise of both military personnel and civilians in the ratio of 1:1.
  11. INDU will undertake long-term defence and strategic studies and create synergy between the academic community and government functionaries. It would integrate Academic community, Armed Forces, Para Military Forces, Intelligence Agencies & Bureaucracy in Strategic Policy Making and Related issues.
  12. The University is being planned on the lines of the IITs and the IIMs and the existing Defence Institutions like National Defence College (NDC) New Delhi, Defence Services Staff College (DSSC) Wellington, College of Defence Management (CDM) Secunderabad and National Defence Academy (NDA) Khadakwasla would be affiliated to IDU.
  13. The military institutions will come under the aegis of Indian Defence University, though these institutions’ autonomy (for the award of degrees and diplomas) and powers will remain same.

Conclusion:

Indian Defence University will inculcate and promote coordination and interaction not just between the three Armed Services, but also between other agencies of the Government, the Civil Bureaucracy, Para Military Forces, Cental Armed Police Forces, Intelligence Servies, Diplomats, Academicians, Strategic Planners, University Students and officers from Friendly Foreign Countries.

10 Key Points About the Tri-Services Maritime Exercise ‘Paschim Lehar’

0
paschim lehar
paschim lehar

The Western Naval Command Conducted Exercise Paschim Lehar, a tri-Service Maritime Exercise. It commenced on the Western Seaboard on 12 February 2018. This exercise includes the participation of a large number of ships, submarines and aircraft from the Western Naval Command of the Indian Navy.

In addition, units from Eastern Naval Command, Indian Army, Indian Air Force and the Indian Coast Guard also participated to build interoperability.

The exercise was conducted in two phases. The exercise includes a number of weapon firings, including missile, gun and torpedo firings during the initial phase. The second phase is structured to validate and refine the operational plans of the Western Naval Command.

About Exercise Paschim Lehar (XPL):

  1. Over 40 ships & submarines, a similar number of maritime surveillance, fighter aircraft, helicopters and Remotely Piloted Aircraft of the Indian Navy and the IAF participated in XPL.
  2. The current edition of Exercise Paschim Lehar (XPL) also saw the involvement of the Indian Air Force and the Coast Guard. The IAF has squadrons of Jaguar deep penetration strike aircraft that are tasked with a maritime role based in Gujarat.
  3. The Amphibious capabilities of the Armed Forces, along with the elements of Army Amphibious Brigade (91 Inf Brigade) will also be deployed and tested for operational tasking during the exercise.

Separate Exercises for Separate Commands:

  1. This year onwards the Navy had decided to conduct separate exercises on the eastern and western seaboards.
  2. Last week, the navy ended an exercise called ENCORE that was led by the Eastern Naval Command. The Eastern Naval Command Theatre Level Readiness Exercise (ENCORE) also involved more than 40 ships and submarines, including those from the western fleet and the Andaman & Nicobar Command (ANC).
  3. Among the annual exercises conducted by the Navy was the Tropex – Theatre Readiness Operational Exercise (TROPEX).

Effect on Maldives Emergency:

  1. China and the Maldives have recently warned against threats of military intervention in the archipelago following the declaration of a state of emergency by President Yameen. The exercise, which came after the Eastern Naval Command Operational Readiness Exercise (ENCORE), is ostensibly being conducted to show China India’s military prowess.
  2. China continues to ramp up its operations in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR), which is a threat to India’s strategic interests. India is monitoring Chinese activities in the IOR especially at a time when the Maldives leadership is supporting China with a view to tackling India.
  3. Recently, a Chinese flotilla of a destroyer, frigate, amphibious transport ship and replenishment tanker had entered the Indian Ocean Region through an Indonesian strait on February 10, after conducting drills in the contentious South China Sea. It returned after later.
  4. In view of the Chinese activities, India is also ramping up its operations and bases in the region. India has also expressed its interest in joining the proposed quadrilateral alliance with the US, Japan and Australia to counter Chinese activities in Indo-Pacific.

Conclusion:

The Indian Navy is undertaking various exercises on different seaboards to tackle China’s aggression in the Indian Ocean Region. At a time, when Mali is also supporting Beijing against India, it becomes very vital that India enhances interoperability between the tri-services and also with other friendly foreign nations.
