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.
