Jaipur, April 15 The Sapt Shakti Command celebrated its 22nd Raising Day on Wednesday at the Jaipur Military Station. Established on April 15, 2005, it is the Indian Army's seventh and youngest Command.
On this occasion, the Army Commander of the Sapt Shakti Command, Lieutenant General Manjinder Singh, extended his heartfelt congratulations and best wishes to all ranks of the Command, veterans, defence personnel, and their families.
He lauded the selfless dedication, courage, and sacrifice of past and present soldiers who have contributed to the Command’s illustrious journey.
He also appreciated their pivotal role in building a distinct identity and proud legacy for the Indian Army’s youngest Command in a relatively short span, propelling it to great heights of success.
Over the past twenty-two years, the Sapt Shakti Command has set high benchmarks of professional excellence. True to its motto, Sarvada Vijayee Bhava (May You Always Be Victorious), it has established a robust, well-organised, and formidable military posture along the western borders.
The Command has not only excelled in safeguarding the nation’s frontiers but has also consistently maintained high levels of operational readiness and professional proficiency through sustained training and the integration of modern strategies, technologies, and procedures.
A solemn wreath-laying ceremony was held at Prerna Sthal (Inspiration Memorial), where the Chief of Staff of the Sapt Shakti Command, Lieutenant General P. S. Shekhawat, accompanied by veterans, paid homage to the brave soldiers who made the supreme sacrifice in the service of the nation.
The ceremony served as a poignant reminder of the valour and selflessness that underpin the Command's ethos.
To mark the occasion, symphony band concerts were organised at the Jaipur Military Station and Jawahar Kala Kendra, inspiring both soldiers and citizens with patriotic and heroic melodies.
Addressing all ranks at a special Sainik Sammelan, the Chief of Staff commended the Command’s efforts to enhance operational readiness by aligning with the Army’s vision, adopting modern strategies, and strengthening coordination in multi-domain operations.
He also expressed gratitude to the families, veterans, and Veer Naris (war widows) for their unwavering support. The Chief of Staff called upon all ranks to reaffirm their resolve to safeguard the nation’s sovereignty and to meet emerging challenges with professionalism, dedication, and courage.
