Bluntly powerful honesty from 1SL - a strong case can be made that the closed promotion system rewards those who are left through emulating bad behaviours - what damage has this done in terms of lost talent that gave up? forcesnews.com/services/navy/…

A message that will resonate amongst soldiers, airmen and sailors. It's about the inherent nobility in the profession of soldiering.

Also important to note: separately dockyard apprentices that @indiannavy trains under the Apprentices Act 1961 are prepared for industrial trades in workshops and yards. They don’t sail, don’t keep machinery watches, and don’t provide at-sea technical continuity. The #artificer

Sir, it wouldn’t be amiss to see the #artificer cadre as a distinct #apprenticeship that the @indiannavy inherited from the RN. It went far beyond hands-on skills and built deep engineering competence through 4–5 years of structured education. They had accelerated promotion…

"... we diluted deep apprenticeships — including the @indiannavy ’s unique #Artificer streams ..." The IAF too had a system of apprenticeship. Being the air force, we did away with it. It has been my belief that it should have been modified to 1/n



India’s biggest lesson from China’s “age of apprenticeship” is simple: you cannot build real capability without people who learn by doing. For us, this means looking beyond #Atmanirbhar kind slogans. It means recognising that tacit skill sits in long training cycles, not…

A fantastic article. Without approximating the steps described, Atmanirbharta will remain a chimera. An example: "The OEM phase is how factories learn to be factories. You do not learn process discipline from theory. You learn it when a multinational buyer sends an 1/n

(vernacular version: dadi ma ke nuskhe😄) Ithink the CDS, in the light of his recent homily to industry leaders, and the upper reaches of the MoD should seriously peruse this article. 3/3


Impressive to see Japan’s system. Meanwhile in @NammaBengaluroo, @BBMPSWMSplComm garbage trucks trundle down the expressway to @BLRAirport, shedding debris and forcing others to cut across lanes — breaching the MV Act’s basic prohibition on overtaking from the left (do we even…

Sir, this was a very interesting article. May I share my perspective. 1. I have felt miffed when the IAF has said Army is not "air minded". But as I have interacted with IAF veterans after service and learnt about air power my perspective has changed. I know I will always 1/
