Defence Minister Rajnath Singh: Traditions, innovations should be balanced in armed forces

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh emphasized on Sunday the necessity of embracing innovation while preserving military traditions, saying that the two must coexist in harmony.

Speaking at the Air Force Academy’s Combined Graduation Parade in Dundigul, close by, Singh expressed his opinion that adhering to traditions would only make the system resemble stagnant water in a lake; however, if innovation is combined with tradition, it will transform into a river that constantly supplies fresh water.

“Traditions are important in the armed forces, because they are time tested. They served useful purposes for a long time. That’s why giving proper importance to the traditions is also necessary. There is one important thing. If we follow traditions without any thinking, there will be stagnation in our system naturally,” the union minister said.

He emphasized the value of innovation in light of the world’s constantly shifting conditions.

Singh also urged the recently appointed flying officers to never waver from their new way of thinking and philosophy.
