The Hindu
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh is expected to interact with the senior Army commanders and address the conference on April 21.
Top Army commanders will carry out an extensive review of India's national security challenges along the borders with China and Pakistan as well as assess any possible geopolitical implication of the Russia-Ukraine war for the region at a five-day conclave beginning on Monday.
The conclave will be held at the national capital from April 18-22 and will be chaired by Army Chief Gen MM Naravane.
The commanders will also focus on specific plans for capability development and boosting operational preparedness of the 1.3 million-strong force, officials said on Sunday.
The Army Commanders' Conference is an apex level biannual event that is held in April and October every year.
The conference is an institutional platform for conceptual level deliberations, culminating in making important policy decisions for the Indian Army.
The officials said detailed deliberations have been planned to assess the possible implications of the war in Ukraine for regional security as well as various military aspects of the conflict.
The commanders will also carry out a comprehensive review of India's military preparedness along the 3,400-km-long Line of Actual Control (LAC) in view of the lingering military standoff with China in certain friction points in eastern Ladakh, they said.
