The central government on Saturday appointed senior IPS officer Parag Jain as the next chief of the Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW) for a term of two years. He will succeed Ravi Sinha who is set to complete his tenure on June 30. Currently serving as the head of the Aviation Research Centre (ARC), Jain has been instrumental in bolstering India’s external intelligence capabilities. His leadership at ARC proved pivotal during ‘Operation Sindoor’, where intelligence gathering on Pakistani military movements and terror infrastructure was crucial.
