PM Modi to attend Combined Commanders Conference in Kolkata
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to join the Combined Commanders Conference (CCC) in Kolkata on September 15, 2024.
This meeting brings together top military leaders to talk about big-picture reforms and better teamwork across India's armed forces.
Hosting the CCC outside Delhi this year signals a move toward decentralizing these important discussions.
Theater commands and resource optimization
A major goal discussed at the CCC is the creation of theater commands—basically, ways for different branches of the military to work together more smoothly and save costs.
General Anil Chauhan, Chief of Defense Staff, is leading these efforts, with recent successes like Operation Sindoor showing what joint action can achieve.
Plus, there's news that Bihar's Purnea airfield will soon serve both military and civilian flights—another step toward smarter use of resources and closer collaboration.
