General NS Raja Subramanian formally took charge as India's third Chief of Defence Staff on Saturday. Subramanian has been appointed as the new Chief of Defence Staff after Anil Chauhan retired after serving for three and a half years.
He took charge with a formal 'guard of honour' ceremony held at the South Block Lounge in New Delhi.
General Subramanian has previously served as the Military Advisor to the National Security Advisory Committee. During that time, he played a key role in strategic assessment and inter-agency coordination on national security issues. Subramanian said that strengthening the synergy and integration between the Army, Navy and Air Force is a top priority.
"I feel honoured to take charge as the Chief of Defence Staff. We are committed to implementing the Prime Minister's vision of self-reliance, and innovation," he said.
