Themed 'Evolution of ANC as a Strategic Hub and Beyond', the forum facilitated discussions on future-ready operational concepts, cognitive and cyber warfare, strategic signalling, and building India's profile as a preferred security partner in the region. The third edition of the Dweep Diksha Dialogue, organised on September 19 to 20, also emphasised the growing importance of multi-domain warfare, grey-zone strategies and maritime security, the official added. Key speakers included Commander-in-Chief ANC (CINCAN) Lieutenant General Dinesh Singh Rana and Lieutenant Governor of Andaman and Nicobar Islands Admiral D.K. Instituted in 2023, the Dweep Diksha Dialogue reflects ANC's evolution from a geographically isolated outpost into a dynamic operational and intellectual hub, capable of influencing policy, operational planning, and regional stability. The dialogue reinforces ANC's position as a hub for professional military education, operational experimentation, and joint-service cooperation.
