Every year on 15 January, Indian Army Day is celebrated to remember the sacrifice of our soldiers to protect India and its citizens.
The day is also celebrated to commemorate the moment when Lieutenant General KM Cariappa took over from Francis Butcher as the first Commander-in-Chief of the Indian Army on 15 January 1949.
Francis Butcher was the last British Commander-in-Chief of India.
This year, the 76th Army Day celebration is being organized in Lucknow.
The event is being held outside the national capital for the second time as part of the Government of India’s initiative to take major movements from the capital to different parts of the country.
The best marching contingent for the 76th Army Day Parade to be held on January 15, 2024, will be selected using Artificial Intelligence.
For the first time, Artificial Intelligence is being used to identify the best marching drill and identify the best contingent in the parade.
