The forces will also give briefings to the Prime Minister on the efforts and actions taken by them to enhance integration among themselves.

A number of new initiatives are in the pipeline including the creation of theatre commands where the threats to the country would be tackled by the theatre commanders while the staff work like acquisitions and training would be done by services headquarters.

On March 31, the services are likely to discuss their different plans with Defence Minister Rajnath Singh.

During his address, the Prime Minister is expected to convey the government’s views and directives on different global and regional issues to the forces.

The Navy and the Air Force are also expected to come up with their innovations which can help them in combat readiness and reduce imports.
