PM Modi to chair Combined Commanders's Conference in Kolkata
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to kick off the Combined Commanders's Conference (CCC) at Fort William, Kolkata, this Monday.
The three-day event brings together India's top military and civilian leaders to talk about big-picture reforms—think teamwork between services, tech upgrades, and getting ready for new challenges like cyber threats and space security.
CCC is not just a meeting
This isn't just another meeting. The CCC includes interactive sessions with people from all ranks so real voices shape future strategy.
With Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and NSA Ajit Doval attending, the focus is on making India's defense smarter and more modern.
Plus, Modi's visit ties into his push for major infrastructure projects—including better rail links in the Northeast—showing how national security and development go hand in hand.
And with West Bengal elections coming up in 2026, there's a bit of political buzz too.
