While some progress has been made towards the first two, but the reforms in military education in India are still lacking. The current military training in India trains officers with "narrow professional skills to command companies, battalions and brigades, or perform staff duties at various levels, there is practically no attempt to give the officers a sense of the larger contexts – strategic, political and international – in which the armed forces function. It is only at the highest training establishment, the National Defence College, that senior one-star officers get exposed to some of these issues. This is too little and too late. This outmoded approach to training impacts the quality of human capital at all levels in the services. Yet, no government has paid serious attention to this. The fate of the long-heralded Indian National Defence University is symptomatic of the political leadership’s neglect of this crucial area."<ref name=StillLacking>[https://theprint.in/opinion/defence-university-to-defence-chief-modi-govt-now-has-political-capital-for-the-big-reforms/251180/ Defence University to Defence Chief – Modi govt now has political capital for the big reforms], [[ThePrint]], 2019.</ref> | ||
