Surprise Element, Technological Superiority & Jointness - key to operational readiness
Raksha Mantri Shri Rajnath Singh addressed the Air Force Commanders’ Conference in New Delhi on November 12, 2026. The theme of this year’s conference is ‘The Year of Empowerment: Maximising Efficiency Through Decentralisation’.

He emphasised the need to continue bolstering intelligence and surveillance capabilities, enhance integration among systems and identify potential threats before they unfold.
As part of the conference, Raksha Mantri also launched a suite of AI applications developed in-house by the IAF under UDAAN to automate tasks across operations, administration and aerospace safety.
The inaugural session was also attended by Raksha Rajya Mantri Shri Sanjay Seth, Chief of the Air Staff Air Chief Marshal Ashutosh Dixit, Defence Secretary Shri Rajesh Kumar Singh, Secretary (Defence Production) Shri Sanjeev Kumar and Secretary (Defence Finance) Shri Vishwajit Sahay.

Swachhata Special Campaign 6.0 | Celebration of CTUs & Perimeter Wall Drive
Honouring our Swachhata heroes! A celebration of CTUs was carried out inside MIDHANI, with a total of 200 persons participating. On this occasion, all Safai Mitras were felicitated and a high tea was organised in their honour — a heartfelt salute to the hands that keep our plant clean every single day.
Alongside, the campaign continued with a series of impactful activities:
(1) Removal of vegetation and wild bushes alongside the perimeter wall of the MIDHANI plant. A total of 130 participants joined the cleanliness drive, collecting and disposing of approximately 3 tonnes of organic waste, cleaning a total area of 17,000 sq ft and creating valuable space in the process.
(2) 200 kg of e-waste was segregated and is being disposed of responsibly — keeping hazardous waste out of landfills and protecting our environment.
(3) Record management drive — 560 physical files were reviewed and 240 files were weeded out, keeping our records lean, relevant and well-organised.
Respect for our Safai Mitras and relentless action on the ground — that is the true spirit of Swachhata!
