NEW DELHI, Jan 20, 2026 — In a major move to fortify India’s national security narrative, the Indian Army has signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Indian Institute of Mass Communication (IIMC).
This partnership is designed to foster high-level development and capability-building in the critical field of strategic communications. By merging military precision with academic excellence in media studies, the collaboration aims to enhance the Army’s ability to manage information environments and refine its messaging strategies in an increasingly digital and interconnected world.
The MoU outlines a comprehensive framework for cooperation, focusing on training, research, and the exchange of expertise on various facets of communication science. As modern conflicts shift toward multi-domain operations, where information is often as decisive as physical maneuvers, this synergy with IIMC will help build indigenous expertise to counter misinformation and project national interests effectively.
This institutional tie-up underscores the Indian Army’s commitment to staying ahead of the evolving security landscape by professionalizing its communication wings through world-class academic resources.
