Prime Minister Narendra Modi will participate in the war game “Bharat Shakti” in Pokhran, Rajasthan, on March 12, the eve of the announcement of the 2024 General Elections. The exercise will only use weapons platforms and systems that are domestically developed. Leading figures from the tri-services, including Gen. Anil Chauhan, the Chief of Defence Staff, will be present at the war game.
PM Modi at Bharat Shakti
Prime Minister Modi is anticipated to urge the military leadership to develop a tactics-led revolution in military affairs that is India-centric and unique to the Indian geography and security threats to Bharat, as a showcase for his “Aatmanirbhar Bharat” concept.
It is acknowledged that “Bharat Shakti” will use a war game to evaluate the effectiveness of network-centric systems and platforms developed in India. Although the Indian Army is entirely indigenized, efforts are ongoing to attain indigenization in the technology-focused Indian Air Force and Indian Navy, specifically in the domains of submarine building and aircraft engine production.
In order to make sure that the enemy cannot hack into native communication systems and networks under hostile circumstances, the exercise will also test the robustness and integrity of these systems. Apart from this, the “Bharat Shakti” exercise’s primary goal will be fostering synergy between the three services, each of which has a tendency to function in isolation. Short-range and multi-barrel Pinaka rocket launchers, K-9 artillery guns, indigenous drones, and Tejas fighter aircraft will all be on display.

The three services have concentrated on developing technologies like secure mobile telephony developed by the Indian Army since PM Modi’s clear call for “Aatmanirbhar Bharat.” The three services have tested the resilience of the secure mobile phone, which is based on imported phone devices and a private Indian operator, but all calls are fully encrypted. The top brass of the three services are now testing the phone as a pilot project; it has been tested against hacking. To further increase the lethality of the Indian armed forces, PM Modi will interact with the top brass during the war game while utilizing all of the country’s network-centric indigenous systems.
