The 'Unity of Effort' pillar of the VAYU vision is linked to the national vision of JAI. What does JAI stand for?
- A.Jointness, Aatmanirbharta and Innovation
- B.Jawan, Agniveer and Infrastructure
- C.Jointness, Agility and Integration
- D.Jal, Akash and Imarat
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Jointness, Aatmanirbharta and Innovation. While setting out the fourth pillar of his vision, the Chief of the Air Staff said that stronger jointness with the Army, the Navy and national agencies would be pursued in keeping with the national vision of JAI, whose three words are Jointness, Aatmanirbharta and Innovation. The pillar therefore joins the other three, which deal with operational readiness, indigenous capability and innovation in doctrine and technology, to describe an Air Force that is ready for operations, advanced in technology, self-reliant and smoothly integrated with the other services. Options B, C and D are wrong because none of those expansions was used. Jawan, Agniveer and Infrastructure describes manpower and works, not a joint vision; Jointness, Agility and Integration replaces two of the three correct words; and Jal, Akash and Imarat is not a defence framework at all. Only option A gives the expansion used with the VAYU vision.
