President Droupadi Murmu has asked the Military Engineer Services (MES) officers to make use of cutting-edge technologies including machine learning and artificial intelligence in their future projects. She said this will help in a more efficient design and reduced time frame for construction. 

Addressing the officer trainees of MES at Rashtrapati Bhavan today, January 5, the President said that the construction sector is very dynamic and the technologies are changing very fast. 

She said the sector plays a major role in economic growth and development. She underlined that MES officers can contribute immensely in developing infrastructure using modern tools of project management. 

President Murmu added that they have joined the services at a time when India has just entered into the Amrit Kaal and has also assumed G20 Presidency. It is the time when the world is looking toward India for new innovations and solutions.  

She said the officers will be instrumental in providing rear-line engineering support to all the defence arms and other organizations.  The President said the dedicated engineering support that they provide to the armed forces enhances their overall performance and keeps them prepared to meet any exigencies.
