Secunderabad: College of Defence Management to receive the prestigious President’s Colours
This recognition comes as a testament to the college’s stellar legacy of shaping the strategic leadership and imparting higher defence management skills to senior military officers.
Hyderabad: In a momentous event scheduled to take place in the third week of December 24, the College of Defence Management (CDM), Secunderabad, will be presented with the prestigious President’s Colours, the highest honour that recognises an Armed Forces institution’s outstanding contribution and service to the nation.
This recognition comes as a testament to the college’s stellar legacy of shaping the strategic leadership and imparting higher defence management skills to senior military officers. The Colour presentation will mark a historic chapter in the evolution of CDM and cement its position as the foremost institution for management education in defence.
Established in 1970, CDM was founded with a singular purpose: to address the emerging need for skilling senior military leaders not only in combat operations but also make them adept in the managerial and strategic planning aspects of modern warfare. Over the decades, the college has evolved, adapting to changing national and global security dynamics, to become an institution that serves as a bedrock for the development of military leadership and management expertise in the Indian Armed Forces.
Brigadier V. Dhruva, AVSM, the first Commandant of CDM, played a pivotal role in shaping the early curriculum, ensuring that it provided not only operational training but also a strong foundation in management and decision-making, a press release said.
