Biodiversity Heritage Sites are notified to conserve areas with significant ecological and evolutionary significance, often characterized by unique species and ecosystems. High human interference and degradation are contrary to this objective.

The main goal of BHS notification is to protect and conserve areas that possess high biodiversity value, including unique species, endemic flora and fauna, and fragile ecosystems.

Section 37 of the Biological Diversity Act, 2002, grants the State Government the power to notify areas of significant biodiversity value as Biodiversity Heritage Sites.

The development of indigenous radar systems is part of the government's 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' initiative to achieve self-reliance in defense technology.

The exercise aims to foster military cooperation and enhance combined capabilities to execute joint operations in semi-urban and jungle environments.
