Union Defence Minister Rajnath on July 7 attended the Controllers Conference organised by DRDO. During his address he hailed the performance of Indigenously manufactured defense products during Operation Sindoor. Additionally, the minister said “"...If you look at our Defence budget, it's bigger than the GDP of some countries in the world. When a significant portion of people's hard-earned income is allocated to the Defence Ministry, our responsibility increases exponentially—we ned effective growth. Our Defence expenditure should be such that not only does the budget increase, but also we should utilise it in the right way - by proper deployment at the right time for the right objective. "
