The Report of the Group of Ministers on National Security has six chapters. The Ministry of Defence has been designated as the nodal Ministry for implementation of Chapters VI on Management of Defence, which contains 75 recommendations. Out of these, 63 recommendations have been implemented and action on four recommendations is in various stages of progress.
Eight recommendations of the Report relate to the establishment of Chief of Defence Staff (CDS). A decision on this matter would be taken after completion of the ongoing consultations with political parties.
