After taking the charge, the CDS said that he was proud to be assuming the responsibility of the highest rank in the Indian armed forces.

Army Chief General Manoj Pande, IAF Chief Air Chief Marshal VR Chaudhari, Navy vice chief Vice Admiral SN Ghormade and Air Marshal BR Krishna were also present on the occasion.
It is to be noted that this is the first time that the Union government has brought a three-star officer back from his retirement to hold the charge of CDS.
General Bipin Rawat was the first CDS of the country. After his death in a chopper crash in Tamil Nadu in December 2021, the post was vacant for more than nine months.
Before becoming the CDS, the officer had commanded an Infantry Division in the critical Baramula sector in the Northern Command as Major General.

The CDS is an alumnus of the National Defence Academy, Khadakwasla and the Indian Military Academy, Dehradun.
