IICA in partnership with DG Resettlement (DGR), Ministry of Defence holds its Fifth Batch of Directors' Certification in Corporate Governance for Defence Officers

The Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs (IICA), in partnership with the Directorate General Resettlement (DGR) of the Ministry of Defence, inaugurated the Fifth Batch of its Directors' Certification in Corporate Governance for Defence Officers on 13 July 2026. The two‑week programme brought together 30 senior officers from the Army, Navy and Air Force to familiarize them with corporate‑governance concepts and regulatory frameworks, preparing them for independent director roles on corporate boards. Speakers highlighted the value of military experience—ethics, accountability and risk‑management—in boardrooms, and noted recent reforms by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs such as the Central Registration Centre, Central Processing Centre, C‑PACE and lighter compliance for start‑ups and MSMEs. The programme also underscored the growing importance of ESG reporting and cyber‑technology risks for board oversight.
