President meets National Defence College officers

New Delhi, Nov 12 (IBNS): Officers of the 54th NDC course of National Defence College along with their spouses met President Pranab Mukherjee on Wednesday at Rashtrapati Bhavan.

Addressing the Officers, the President said that he needs to hardly emphasize that the success of any nation depends on how effectively it can harness resources available at its disposal, foremost among which is human resource.

The National Defence College of India, where senior officers from not only armed forces but also from civil services and friendly foreign countries are imparted domain knowledge, perform the task of development of human resources effectively.

Their skills are honed to elevate them to effectively deal with national security issues.

The President said that the role of the armed forces has expanded with the revolution in military affairs and globalization.

It is clear that future conflicts in the complex defence and security ecosystem will require a more integrated multi-state and multi-agency approach.

Preparing military leaders, police officers and civil servants to deal with the security environment of the future will necessarily have to be addressed in a holistic and comprehensive manner.

He stated that he was confident that the NDC course would enable officers to take informed and reasoned decisions regarding security issues.

He also congratulated NDC for conducting the course every year.
