Operation Sindoor: Symbol of India’s Defence Self-Reliance
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has hailed Operation Sindoor as a shining example of India’s growing self-reliance in the defence sector. Reflecting on the past, he noted that India was once heavily dependent on foreign countries for defence equipment, with indigenous production being nearly non-existent. However, Operation Sindoor marks a turning point, showcasing the nation’s strides in defence manufacturing and strategic autonomy. The success of the operation highlights the capabilities of Indian defence forces and domestic industries working in unison. Rajnath Singh emphasized that initiatives like these are crucial for strengthening national security while promoting the “Aatmanirbhar Bharat” vision. The operation not only demonstrates technological advancement but also boosts the morale of defence personnel and industry stakeholders. As India continues to reduce its import dependency, Operation Sindoor serves as an inspiring model of what indigenous innovation and policy reforms can achieve in the realm of national defence.
