Hindustan Times Lucknow|January 02, 2025
The setting up of integrated theatre commands for the best use of the military's resources to fight future wars, new domains such as cyber and space, and simpler weapons buying procedures will be in sharp focus this year, with the defence ministry declaring 2025 as the "year of reforms" aimed at modernising the armed forces to tackle new challenges.

NEW DELHI:

These fields are among the nine areas identified by the defence ministry for "focussed intervention," it said on Wednesday.

The announcement was made a day after defence minister Rajnath Singh chaired a meeting of all secretaries in the ministry, and reviewed various schemes, projects, reforms and the way forward.

"To give impetus to the ongoing and future reforms, it was unanimously decided to observe 2025 as the 'Year of Reforms' in the defence ministry. This would aim at transforming the armed forces into a technologically advanced, combat-ready force capable of multi-domain integrated operations," the ministry said in a statement.
