The Annual Master General of Ordnance (MGO) Industry Cooperation Meet (AMICOM-2016) commenced with the keynote address being delivered by Lt Gen Subrata Saha, the Deputy Chief of the Army Staff (P&S) and the theme address being delivered by Lt Gen Ravi Thodge, the MGO. The AMICOM Series is an initiative of the Indian Army to engage with indigenous defence industry. AMICOM-2016 is being held from 03 to 04 May 2016 at India Habitat Centre, New Delhi under the aegis of MGO Branch and Confederation of Indian Industry (CII).
AMICOM-2016, with ‘Indigenisation’ as the main theme and ‘Optronics and Electronics’ as the special theme, is being attended by a large number of officers from the Armed Forces, officials from the MoD, DGQA, DRDO, academia and a large cross-section of the Indian industry. It aims to create a platform and act as a catalyst to break down the long dependence on foreign sources so as to further accelerate the pace of indigenisation in the field of defence manufacturing and making our nation self-reliant in defence production.
