NEW DELHI:

"Today, conflicts are on in many places in the world. Also, the possibility of conflict is being seen in many new places. There is an atmosphere of uncertainty all around. Big dynamic changes are taking place in international relations too. Radical changes are being seen in the methods of warfare as well," he said.

The defence minister highlighted the need for the armed forces to remain well-trained and equipped to deal with such challenges in the context of prevailing global uncertainty, while lauding the contribution of the training centres in Mhow in this direction.

Singh also called for adopting frontier technologies. "Mastering frontier technologies in today's constantly evolving times is the need of the hour, and the military training centres are playing a crucial role in equipping and readying our soldiers to deal with future challenges," he said.
