I am asking this because I saw this video where you expressed doubts about the surgical strikes having taken place.<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2KD_6k5P9E<br />Rohitnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-48435553207970106202017-10-05T21:30:44.417-07:002017-10-05T21:30:44.417-07:00We Indians are excellent in talking, discussing an...We Indians are excellent in talking, discussing and throwing all sorts of ideas while making a project....but, what about implementation, maintening a time frame and taking responsibility to see a project to it's completion? This is where we are a total failure. Too many cooks (and that too bad cooks) spoil the cake.<br />All civil servants (IAS cadre) assigned to MOD must undergo two years training in military thought, logistics, project implementation, and military hardware production/aquisation etc. Otherwise our woes in this field will never end.

If it's application is further confused, is it mainly due to bureaucratic nervousness(which I take means fear of future allegations of favoritism)? What is the antidote? Or are you saying the MoD has to simply bite the bullet. Are there any changes/early indications of the direction Ms.Sitharaman intends to take or is she still finding her bearings?
