Raksha Mantri Shri Rajnath Singh
has approved certain decisions regarding re-organisation of Army Headquarters.
The approval has been given based on a detailed internal study conducted by the
Army Headquarters. The decisions are as follows:
- A separate Vigilance
Cell under COAS with Tri-Services representation - Presently, the
vigilance function for the COAS is through multiple agencies and there is
no single point interface. An independent vigilance cell will be made
functional under COAS. Accordingly, ADG (Vigilance) will be placed
directly under the COAS for this purpose. It will have three Colonel-level
officers (one each from Indian Army, Indian Air Force and Indian Navy).
This will be done within the existing posts at AHQ.
- An umbrella
organisation under VCOAS for enhanced focus on human rights issues - To give
high priority to observance of human rights convention and values, it has
been decided to set up a special Human Rights Section headed by ADG (Major
General rank officer) directly under the VCOAS. It will be the nodal point
to examine any HR violation reports. To enhance transparency and ensure
the best of investigative expertise is available to the section, a Police
officer of SSP/SP rank will be taken on deputation.
- Re-location of
206 Army Officers from AHQ to Formations/Units of the Field Army - A total
of 206 officers will be optimized from AHQ and these officers will be made
available additionally to Formations/Units of the Field Army, as per
details given below:
