The Ministry of Defense has decided to observe 2025 as the ‘Year of Reforms’ with the aim of:

The correct choice is: “Transforming the Armed Forces into a technologically-advanced combat-ready force capable of multi-domain integrated operations”

On 1 January 2025, the Ministry of Defence declared 2025 the “Year of Reforms”. Its stated overarching aim was to transform the Armed Forces into a technologically-advanced, combat-ready force capable of multi-domain integrated operations. Jointness and integration, new domains (cyber, space, AI), faster procurement, defence exports and veterans’ welfare were listed as focus areas that serve this aim.

The other statements (“Enhancing defence manufacturing capabilities to achieve full self-reliance and global competitiveness”, inter-services synergy, ex-servicemen welfare) describe individual strands of the reform agenda, not its declared overall aim.
