Discussions involving Central Armed Police Forces and Indian Railways underscored the interconnected role of defence preparedness, infrastructure development, and national progress.
The third day focused on “Apada-Sahayata, Parivartan & Margrekha,” addressing themes such as disaster relief operations, evolving geopolitical dynamics in South Asia, and strategic pathways towards the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047.
