How important is DGMO Rajiv Ghai’s new responsibility for war preparations?

June 10, 2025

New Delhi: Director General of Military Operations, i.e. DGMO Lieutenant General Rajiv Ghai played an important role in providing the country with every update of India’s Operation Sindoor against Pakistan. He was among the three officers who used to hold press briefings every day to provide information about the operation on behalf of the army. Now, on Monday, the government has given him additional responsibility and appointed him to the post of Deputy Chief of Army Staff.

Additional responsibility to Rajiv Ghai
Indian Army’s Director General of Military Operations Rajiv Ghai also played a major role in the ceasefire with Pakistan and when the Indian Army attacked Pakistan’s air bases, the neighboring country appealed to Rajiv Ghai for ceasefire. According to an official statement of the Defense Ministry, the post of Deputy Chief of Army is considered one of the most important appointments in the Indian Army. Earlier, on June 4, Lieutenant General Rajiv Ghai was honored with the Uttam Yudh Seva Medal by President Draupadi Murmu.

The post of Deputy Chief of Army Staff is very important in terms of military operations. Now Rajiv Ghai will be responsible for overseeing the Operation and Intelligence Directorate and other important branches of the Indian Army. As Deputy Chief, Rajiv Ghai will play a central role in making military strategies as well as coordination between various departments. Apart from this, he will play an important role in ensuring coordination between the three branches of the army, Army, Navy, Air Force and intelligence agencies, which becomes very important in the event of war.


Played an important role in Operation Sindoor
DGMO Rajiv Ghai played an important role in preparing the strategy for precise attacks on the terrorist bases of Pakistan during Operation Sindoor. More than 100 terrorists were killed in this operation and 11 airbases of Pakistan were targeted. This success is enough to tell about his expertise in war preparations. The Indian Army also gave a befitting reply to Pakistan’s firing on the LoC, in which the neighboring country suffered heavy losses.

The ceasefire talks with Pakistan are an example of Rajiv Ghai’s diplomatic skills. Pakistan’s DGMO had contacted Rajiv Ghai for ceasefire after the losses in Operation Sindoor, after which both the countries agreed on ceasefire on 10 May. Stopping a war on time is more difficult than going to war and Rajiv Ghai’s role has been very important in this task.

Planning of military operations
Rajiv Ghai, already posted on the post of DGMO, was monitoring all military operations, now with the new role of Deputy Chief, the responsibility of making strategic plans will also be on his shoulders. This dual role will strengthen the war preparations of the Indian Army because now Rajiv Ghai will be free to take decisions at both operational and policy levels.

Rajiv Ghai of Kumaon Regiment led anti-terrorism operations as GOC of Chinar Corps in Jammu and Kashmir and assessed the security situation of the India-Myanmar border in Manipur. In such a situation, his experience during anti-terrorist operations is going to be very useful for the Indian Army. His appointment becomes more important especially in view of the current situation between India and Pakistan.

Who is Lt. Gen. Rajiv Ghai
Lt. Gen. Rajiv Ghai is a senior military officer of the Kumaon Regiment. He has played an important role in many major operations in his military career. As the GOC of Chinar Corps before becoming DGMO, he has led anti-terrorism operations in Jammu and Kashmir. Lt. Gen. Rajiv Ghai was posted as DGMO on 25 October last year. Now, increasing his responsibility, he has been posted as Deputy Chief of Army Staff.
