The Governor said that the wheel of time is constantly on the march. Every passing day witnesses the global politico-economic and military contexts becoming more and more involved, more and more complex and more and more intrusive. On account of these developments civil-military relations are now undergoing a sea change. New challenges are widening the scope of civil-military relations and therefore civil-military relations are transforming in all configurations, viz., on land, in air, at sea and in space, he said.

The Governor said that civil-military relations in India suffered great setbacks as small countries around India which had got their freedom from the British underwent many military coups. However on 26 of May 2014 when Shri Narendra Modi ji became the Prime Minister of India, the civil-military relations in our country entered a new phase. This marked the watershed in the history of civil-military relations in India, the Governor said.
