India, with its vast territorial expanse and diverse geopolitical challenges, has been steadfast in bolstering its defence prowess. The Bharat Shakti Exercise stands as a testament to India’s commitment to modernising its armed forces and leveraging advanced technology to safeguard its borders and interests.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi witnessed the tri-service exercise ‘Bharat Shakti’ at the Pokhran field firing range in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan on March 12, 2024. The exercise was also witnessed by the delegates from more than 30 nations. In his statement, Prime Minister Modi recalled Pokhran’s historical significance as the site of India’s past nuclear tests andasserted, “This is Pokhran, where India showcased its nuclear capabilities, and today we witness the strength of ‘Swadeshikaran se Sashaktikaran’ (empowerment through indigenisation).”

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan, Navy Chief Admiral R. Hari Kumar, and IAF Chief Air Chief Marshal V.R. Chaudhari witnessed the tri-services firepower which marked it as India’s major military exercise of magnitude.
