    Shimla, Jul 3 (PTI) - Lt Gen Devendra Sharma, the General Officer Commanding-in-Chief of the Army Training Command (ARTRAC), emphasized the crucial role that new technologies and drones are playing in modern warfare. By 2030, the Indian Army plans to adopt 33 niche technologies. Speaking at the ARTRAC Investiture Ceremony 2025, he announced that ARTRAC will integrate these specialized technologies into its training curriculum, enhancing learning and operational effectiveness through technology. An investment of Rs 390 crores has been earmarked for research and development, infrastructure, and training over the next five years, aiming to transform the Indian Army into a future-ready force. Niche technologies are specialized tools or innovations tailored for specific purposes within a broader industry. He noted that 15 major training establishments are being developed as Centres of Expertise to implement these technologies. As part of this initiative, around 18,000 personnel will be trained on 22 niche technologies in 2024-25, followed by training 12,000 more personnel on 21 technologies in 2025-26. Lt Gen Sharma also highlighted the increasing role of women in the Indian Army, with over 1,800 women serving in various capacities, including commanding units. Three Category 'A' Establishments and two affiliated units received the prestigious 'GOC-in-C Army Training Command Unit Citation' for their exceptional contributions to enhancing army training standards in 2023-24. The Financial Excellence Awards were presented to the Military College of Material Management (MCMM) in Jabalpur, the Counter Insurgency Jungle Warfare School (CIJWS) in Variengate, and the Military College of Electronics and Mechanical Engineering (MCEME) in Secunderabad for excellence in financial management. Additionally, the Armoured Corps Centre & School (ACC&S) in Ahilyanagar, and MCMM Jabalpur received e-Office Excellence Awards for promoting the use of e-office software, reducing paper usage.
