The Government of India is responsible for ensuring the Defence of India. The Supreme
Command of the Armed Forces vests in the President of India. The responsibility for
Defence of the country rests with the Cabinet. This is discharged through the Ministry
of Defence, which provides the policy framework and wherewithal to the Armed Forces
to discharge their responsibilities for defence of the country.
The prime task of the Ministry of Defence is to prepare for Defence of the country by
providing required Infrastructure, adequate trained Manpower and Defence Equipment
and Platforms to the Armed Forces. During the last few months, the Ministry of
Defence and the Armed Forces have fast-tracked efforts to enhance defence
preparedness and the security of the Nation. This e-Book, the first of its kind, is being
