The initiative, facilitated by the Director General of Infantry in collaboration with the ICICI Foundation, reflects the Indian Army’s commitment to harnessing technology for both operational and humanitarian needs.

A key advantage of the system is its ability to provide effective treatment within the “Golden Hour” — the crucial first hour that often determines survival in medical crises.
Training for Seamless Integration
To ensure smooth induction and effective utilisation, a four-day intensive training capsule was conducted at the Centre from 1–4 September 2025 in collaboration with Green Genome India Pvt Ltd. The programme offered hands-on experience, enabling personnel to operate the units confidently and extend rapid medical assistance in the field.
Civilian doctors also attended the training to ensure that, when required, the equipment can be seamlessly integrated with the civil healthcare system.
Army’s Commitment to Care
With this initiative, the Indian Army takes another stride in blending technology with compassion, reaffirming its dedication to safeguarding soldiers’ lives and providing timely support wherever needed.
