The long-awaited results for promotion of Army officers to the rank of Lieutenant General and Major General have finally been declassified by the Ministry of Defence. As many as 17 officers of 1979 seniority (fresh cases) have made it to the rank of Lieutenant General, with 14 being approved for the Command and Staff (C&S) stream and three for staff-only stream. These include 12 from the infantry, four from the armoured corps and one from the mechanised infantry.
In addition, an artillery officer from the 1978 batch (first review) has also been approved for the C&S stream. The selection board for promotion was held in April this year and about 65 Major Generals were considered for promotion.
As far as elevation of Brigadiers to Major General is concerned, a total of 59 officers have made the grade. They include eight officers of 1981 batch and 37 officers of the 1982 batch for the C&S stream. One officer from the 1981 batch and 13 from the 1982 batch have been promoted in the staff-only stream. Only officers approved in the C&S stream are eligible to be appointed as corps or division commanders.
