The Indian Army is working with IIT Madras to create a new research center named 'Agnishodh' to help the army use advanced technology.
General Dwivedi explained that the army needs to combine traditional soldiers with robots for future conflicts.
'Agnishodh' will help the army by using the latest research and technology.
The army also successfully completed 'Operation Sindoor', a major counter-terrorism operation.
The goal is for the army to become more self-reliant in defense technology by integrating academic research with real-world applications.
They are also focusing on being ready for the next generation of warfare.
Indian Army and IIT Madras inaugurated 'Agnishodh' research cell to boost self-reliance in defense technology.
The research cell aims to integrate academic research with real-time operational applications.
