The programme, being conducted from April 21 to 25, is specifically designed for senior and mid-level officers of the Indian Army engaged in logistics and infrastructure management.
Unveiled by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on October 13, 2021, PM Gati Shakti plan is a Rs 111 lakh crore (about $1.5 trillion) programme aimed at transforming India’s infrastructure planning.

The first session featured keynotes by Major General Mohit Trivedi, Additional Director General, Operational Logistics of Indian Army, and Prof. Manoj Chaudhary, Vice Chancellor of GSV.
