Welcome Remarks - Lt Gen PK Singh, PVSM, AVSM (Retd), Director, USI
Release of USI Strategic Year Book 2017
While India does not lack in strategic culture, there is a reluctance to articulate our perceptions on strategic issues. The United Service Institute of India, New Delhi which is one of the oldest think tanks in the world, decided to address this issue by bringing out the annual USI Strategic Year Book in 2016. The Book contributes to evolution and dissemination of strategic thought on current and emerging challenges facing our Nation and helps in furtherance of interest and knowledge in the art, science and literature of National Security including international relations.
USI had organised a book release function for its “USI Strategic Year Book 2017” on 04 May 2017. The chief guest for the event was Gen Bipin Rawat, UYSM, AVSM, YSM, SM, VSM, ADC, Chief of the Army Staff .The introductory remarks were given by Lt Gen PK Singh PVSM, AVSM (Retd) Director, USI. He highlighted the need for having a Strategic Year Book and its significance. Maj Gen BK Sharma, AVSM, SM & BAR (Retd), Dy Director (Research) in his presentation outlined the broad sections of the Year book. He then highlighted the crux of the chapters and the ten major strategic takeaways from the Year book. In his address, the Chief of the Army Staff, complemented the USI for releasing the Strategic Year Book and also highlighted the significance of developing a strategic culture in the nation. The event ended with a vote of thanks by Maj Gen BK Sharma.
