How ‘go-getter’ Gen Bipin Rawat helped world’s largest National Flag fly high
A decorated soldier and a strategist par excellence, Gen Bipin Rawat , the first Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), who was a “go-getter” in his words and by his actions, is no more. I did not share camaraderie with Gen Rawat, but I had the pleasure of meeting him on a number of occasions; one such being on 2 August this year at his South Block office in New Delhi.
Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC), which I head as its chairman, had conceptualised making the world’s largest National Flag made of Khadi fabric. Making the flag of huge dimension — 225 feet long, 150 feet wide and weighing 1,400 kg — was not a challenge for KVIC artisans, but displaying it with full honour and dignity definitely was. I reached out to Gen Rawat seeking his advice and army support to display the flag in all its glory.
Upon reaching his office, I was received by Brig LS Lidder , the Defence Advisor to the CDS who also lost his life by the side of the CDS on Wednesday. In no time, Brig Lidder impressed me with his deep knowledge and love for Khadi.

Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Manoj Mukund Naravane, who is senior to his counterparts in the navy and air force, is a frontrunner to occupy the post of Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) after the untimely demise of General Bipin Rawat in a helicopter crash on Wednesday.
The Cabinet Committee on Security meet on Wednesday evening was chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi met on Wednesday evening condoled the deaths of General Rawat and others but no word on the successor of General Rawat came out.
