To foster joint research, innovation, and indigenisation for national defence applications following Atmanirbhar Bharat, Indian Army’s Western Command has signed MoUs with IIT Ropar and IIT Kanpur. This will establish a structured framework for continued engagement in defence R&D and field-ready innovation. The collaboration spans multiple disciplines including engineering, physical sciences, biomedical sciences, and cybersecurity.
These engagements signify a progressive roadmap for academic-military partnerships to address national security challenges. These coordinated efforts mark a new chapter in Army-academia synergy for transforming India’s defence innovation ecosystem.
