Union Minister Jitendra Singh has said that the new Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi’s wide range of expertise and experience will certainly be an asset to the Indian Army.

He received General Upendra Dwivedi and held discussions with him on Thursday.

In a post on X, “Pleased to receive General Upendra Dwivedi who called on after officially taking charge as the 30th Chief of the Army Staff. The new Army Chief’s wide range of expertise and experience will certainly be an asset to the Indian Army which is among the best forces in the world.”

An ace infantry officer with vast experience in operations, General Upendra Dwivedi, took over the command of the Indian Army last month.

The 30th Chief of the Indian Army belongs to the Jammu and Kashmir Rifles and was Vice Chief of Army Staff from February this year.

He hails from Madhya Pradesh and has studied at Sainik School Rewa (MP). He joined the prestigious National Defence Academy in January 1981 and was commissioned into the 18th Battalion of the Jammu and Kashmir Rifles on December 15, 1984, which he later commanded in the Kashmir valley and the deserts of Rajasthan.

From his school days, he was an outstanding sportsman and excelled in both NDA and IMA, where he was awarded the Blue in Physical Training. He continued to excel post commissioning and was awarded the gold medal in the Physical Training Course. General officer has a unique distinction of balanced exposure along Northern, Western and Eastern Theatres, in varied terrain and operational environments including Deserts, High Altitude, riverines, Built areas, North East and Jammu and Kashmir.

He commanded his battalion in active counter-terrorism operations in the Kashmir Valley and in the Rajasthan Desert. He has been Inspector General Assam Rifles as Major General and Sector commander as Brigadier. Assam Rifles participated in intense counterterrorism operations and held various other staff command appointments in the North East, where he pioneered the first-ever compendium on Indo-Myanmar border management.

Subsequently, he commanded the Rising Star Corps along the Western Front and the prestigious Northern Army from 2022 to 2024 in an extremely challenging operational environment. During his command, he provided strategic guidance & Operational oversight for the planning and execution of sustained operations along the Northern & Western borders, besides orchestrating the dynamic counter-terrorism operations in J-K.

He was also involved in modernising and equipping the largest Command of the Indian Army, where he steered the induction of Indigenous equipment as part of Atmanirbhar Bharat. He synergized with the people of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh for convergent nation-building outcomes and infrastructure development. (ANI)
