Bipin Rawat Biography

General Bipin Rawat was a four-star General of the Indian army and his expertise in presenting India’s biggest defense reforms and modernization of armed forces made him a vital cog in the national security and defense apparatus. Throughout his 4 decades-long military careers, Bipin Rawat was finally appointed as the first chief of Defence staff of India on December 30, 2019. He was also awarded a distinguished service with the UYSM, AVSM, YSM, SM, VSM, and COAS.

He played a significant role in successfully responding to the NSCN-K militants during a cross-border operation in Myanmar in 2015. During the surgical strikes in 2016 when the Indian army crossed the Line of Control into the POK, Rawat was supervising the situation from the south block in New Delhi. With the recent IAF Mi17V5 helicopter crash in Coonoor, Tamil Nadu on December 8, 2021, the country lost a true hero and dedicated army personnel.
