Warfare has no ceasefire now, says Naval Chief at CII Summit; highlights shift from 'SAGAR' to 'MAHASAGAR' vision
He made these remarks at the CII Annual Business Summit held in Delhi, where he also spoke about India's maritime vision under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership.
Addressing the summit, Admiral Tripathi said, 'The character of warfare has changed rapidly and continues to do so. Firstly, the lines between war and peace are increasingly blurred. Secondly, the commercial technologies democratise warfare, making it available to non-state actors. Finally, moving into the era of precision, where highly accurate capabilities and in large numbers both remain important for us. We also know that non-traditional threats like acts of terror can spiral into a wider conflict. The use of non-contact warfare along with space and cyber domains to wage a conflict with no ceasefire is a new reality.'
He pointed out that technological disruption had allowed even non-state actors to access powerful tools, including space and cyber warfare, which posed constant threats that do not follow traditional rules of engagement or peacetime restraint.
Speaking on India's strategic maritime framework, Admiral Tripathi said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of SAGAR -- Security and Growth for All in the Region had evolved into a broader concept that now reflected India's growing maritime outreach.
'PM Modi made a clarion call of 'SAGAR' - Security and Growth for All in the Region. Building on this legacy, the vision has rightly elevated to 'MAHASAGAR' - Mutual and Holistic Advancement of Security and Growth Across Regions,' he said.
IOS SAGAR is a unique mission based on the Government of India's regional initiative of maritime collaboration, SAGAR, which stands for Security and Growth for All in the Region. The mission aims to foster international cooperation between India and several African countries.
The Navy Chief's remarks come at a time when India has been increasing its focus on maritime security, not only in the Indian Ocean but across Indo-Pacific waters, through strategic alliances, naval exercises, and capacity-building initiatives.
Centres of Excellence and Industry competitiveness initiatives, promotion of innovation and technology adoption, and partnerships for sustainability, CII plays a transformative part in shaping the future of the nation.
Extending its agenda beyond business, CII Annual Business Summit assists industry to identify and execute corporate citizenship programmes across diverse domains, including affirmative action, livelihoods, diversity management, skill development, empowerment of women, and sustainable development, to name a few.

Construction of Ram temple captured on time-lapse cameras
Ayodhya : The entire process of Ram temple construction, which began on August 5, 2020, after Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone, has been recorded by five time-lapse cameras installed at the site, officials said on Tuesday. The Ram Temple Trust, which had set up these cameras to capture the entire construction journey until completion, has declared the recordings as "Intellectual Property Rights". Time-lapse cameras are devices that capture images at specific intervals, which are later compiled into a video. Each frame is displayed for a fraction of a second, creating the illusion of motion. These rights will be handed over to the Central Building Research Institute (CBRI), Roorkee, under an agreement, so that the material can be used for education, training, and for creating a documentary on the construction of the temple, Nripendra Mishra, chairman of the temple's construction committee, said. "This will document everything from excavation and soil testing to proposals and phased construction," he added. During a review meeting of the construction panel, Mishra said, detailed consideration was given to the design of the temporary temple monument and the granite pillar. "Given the pace of construction work, it is estimated that most of the work will be completed by the end of October," he said. Providing updates on artwork, Mishra said that out of the 90 murals to be installed in the temple's lower plinth, 85 have already been completed and received, while there has been a delay of 15 to 30 days in the 3D sculptures. "This was reviewed in detail during the meeting," he said. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
