Improving State of Defence in India - Key Issues
Dear Friends:
Similar to Railways, Indian Defence is in need of transformation. If done effectively, it can secure our country better (land, sea, air), create a large number of Government and Private jobs and significantly improve India's standing in the world.
Through this post, we would like you to list all the issues with Indian Defence and its industry.
Once we know the Issues, we will work on Root Causes and Solutions with the objective of submitting a comprehensive whitepaper to the new Defence Minister.
I look forward to your inputs!

I strongly believe that the white paper that was concluded on this State of Defence in India read with the Joint March of America and India in Technological Development and the Defence Sector is in its positive line of implementation . If not , these two are to be fast taken-up please . more

1. Rampart corruption especially at the HIGHER level in the Army, Para Military, BSF, Defence Ministry controlled R&D and its Manufacturing Industry and its Ancillary and it is limited to a few, this creates a very POOR impression of all. 2. Even after having serious complaints against the Senior Officers ,the effective action does not appear to visible in controlling the recurring offences. 3. Defence forces are the EPITOME of credibility, discipline, right morals and perfect examples of sacrifice. This fact should be supreme in their eyes and actions more

In a hierarchical organisation where promotion is determined more and more by reservation and/or politics you will not attract or retain the best people. Investment is required in equipment, people, r&d but most of all ensure that it is operated by professionals and that politicians do not call the shots. Create job tracks to join army also if you have worked years at IT company for example and also vice a versa. Give those that have served the nation special privilege and status. Give people who are unemployed longer than 1 year the option to join the forces for a decent salary with a good education if they have not had that yet. Like the Israeli army make it a serious option for women too. more
