The Kargil Review Committee was established by the Indian government to assess and recommend measures following the Kargil War of 1999. Chaired by K. Subrahmanyam, the committee evaluated the lapses and intelligence failures that led to the Pakistani infiltration into Indian territory. The committee’s recommendations emphasized the need for improved intelligence coordination, enhanced surveillance, and restructuring of the defense apparatus. Key outcomes included the establishment of the Defence Intelligence Agency and the appointment of a Chief of Defence Staff to ensure better coordination among the armed forces, thereby strengthening India’s national security framework.
