Produktbeschreibung
Command of an Engineer Group and Centre is a unique privilege. No other appointment, tenable by a Brigadier, matches its sphere of authority and responsibilities. An Engineer Centre conducts recruits' training, promotion courses and trade-upgradation courses for the whole group. A lesser known function of the Centre is to act as the conscience-keeper of the Group and a guardian of regimental traditions. The Centre is considered as the cradle that promotes camaraderie and fosters esprit-de-corps. It is also the repository of the group history including the battle honours. My tenure as Commandant of the Bombay Sappers was highly satisfying. We raised the standard of military training to exceptional heights. Visiting military dignitaries were astonished to see our methodology and advised others to adopt the same. Besides, a large number of infrastructural facilities were created or upgraded for the troops. The entire credit for what we managed to achieve goes to the remarkable team that I had the privilege to command. This book recounts momentous events and activities of my tenure at the helm of affairs in the Centre.

He is regularly invited to address various Indian chambers, associations and foreign industrial delegations. He is a prolific writer and has published more than 560 papers in different journals and newspapers; many have been translated into foreign languages. This is General Suman's tenth book. His earlier books deal with issues confronting the Indian armed forces; tardy procurement process; controversies afflicting major defence contracts; growing anti-nationalism in India; service in the olive green; digging of shafts for the nuclear tests; and the challenges facing the defence industry in India.
