‘Today, the security scenario in the whole world is changing very fast. Because of this, the challenges to our national security are increasing and becoming complex. There are constant changes in the global geopolitical situation.’ This is the voice of Our Defence Minister Rajnath Singh.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Thursday strongly pitched for a strong, capable and completely 'self-reliant' defense industry in the country.
He was speaking after launching the 'Defence India Startup Challenge 5.0, an initiative under the Innovations for Defence Excellence (iDEX) that acts as an umbrella organisation to promote technology development for the defence sector.
Singh said considering the fast-changing security challenges, India must focus on having strong, capable, and 'self-reliant' defence industry to cater to the needs of the armed forces.
It is necessary that we not only create strong, modern and well-equipped forces, but also develop our defense industry, which is equally strong, capable, and most importantly, completely 'self-reliant', the defence minister said.
The defence minister called upon the private sector to contribute in strengthening the defence manufacturing sector.
