New Delhi, May 1 -- Army chief General Manoj Pande said here on Tuesday the Indian Army is alive to the imperative of transformation, and it is with a progressive outlook, that it intends, to not only change, but to change at a good pace too.

The Army chief especially underlined the importance of "technology infusion" and "self-reliance" in the armed forces, saying both are distinct yet interconnected.

Making this point while paying tributes to former Army Chief General K Sundarji, he also said the holistic transformation of the Indian Army "we put into effect two years ago, is part of our efforts to give shape to a modern, agile, adaptive, technology enabled and self-reliant future ready force."
