Command of an Engineer Group and Centre is a unique privilege. No other appointment, tenable by a Brigadier, matches its sphere of authority and responsibilities. An Engineer Centre conducts recruits' training, promotion courses and trade-upgradation courses for the whole group. A lesser known function of the Centre is to act as the conscience-keeper of the Group and a guardian of regimental traditions. The Centre is considered as the cradle t...

Therefore, 'Make in India' is a highly overdue clarion call and a mission statement. The book identifies reasons for the dismal state of the Indian defence industry and suggests co...

However, the ground situation is entirely different. Engineer regiments are regularly called upon to undertake tasks that can only be termed as unusual...

All defence deals are shrouded in varying degree of secrecy. Secrecy and transparency are anti-thesis of each other. Lack of transparency creates doubts about their uprightness. In India's case, every major defence deal gets mired in allegations of irregularities and financial impropriety. The book identifies stages of the acquisition process that are vulnerable to manipulation and finds the integrity pact to be an infructuous addendum. Implem...
