Other issues to be discussed include the modernization of the Army that has been suggested by four internal working groups. As part of its restructuring drive, the army has decided to reorganize the force into smaller Integrated Battle groups (IGP) which will consist of infantry units, artillery units, engineers, medical teams, signals and other personnel. This formation will lead to a faster mobilization during a war and better coordination between the forces.

The army also plans to raise the retirement age of its personnel. It is suggested to retain those who are experienced.

Though the issue of drones isn’t directly under the functional jurisdiction of the Indian Army.

The government has recently given permission to the security forces to shoot down drones flying upto 1000 metres or below. The Border Security Force has sounded an alert in the border regions of Punjab and is acquiring technology to tackle the threat.
