Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Monday released a list of 20 reforms undertaken by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) in 2020.
 
“The booklet is a reflection of the resolve of the government, under the able leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, to make the defence sector stronger and more efficient,” he said.
 
The reforms focused on the PM’s “Atmanirbhar Bharat” (self-reliant India) initiative, on boosting defence exports, accelerating procurement, strengthening border infrastructure, participation of women in the military, transforming research and development (R&D) to boost innovation, and assisting in the fight against Covid-19.
