- The President’s Colours were awarded to the 26th and 27th Battalions of Mechanised Infantry Regiment and 20th and 22nd Battalions of Brigade of The Guards, marking a proud moment for the youngest battalions of the Arm.
- Mechanised Infantry Arm, since its inception in 1979, has distinguished itself as a modern and professional force within the Indian Army, demonstrating exceptional courage, discipline, and operational proficiency in key operations such as Op PAWAN, Op VIJAY, Op RAKSHAK, and Op SNOW LEOPARD, as well as in UN peacekeeping missions.

- In another development, the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur (IIT-K) announced a major advancement in stealth technology by launching the Metamaterial Surface Cloaking System — Anālakshya.
- Sabal 20 is an electric unmanned helicopter based on variable pitch technology, and capable of carrying payloads of up to 20 kg, according to Endure Air, which was incubated at IIT-K in 2018.

Perseverance and unyielding spirit prevailed over every challenge.”
- The presidential visit came in the 40th year of the Indian Army evicting Pakistani soldiers who had occupied towering heights in Siachen — the army launched Operation Meghdoot on April 13, 1984, to clear them out and take full control of the strategic glacier.
