New Delhi: Gen Dhiraj Seth, an Armoured Corps officer, took over as the 31st Chief of Army Staff on Tuesday from General Upendra Dwivedi, who has superannuated on attaining the age of 62.

An alumnus of the National Defence Academy, Khadakwasla, General Seth is the first officer from the Armoured Corps to become Army chief since the retirement of General Shankar Roy Chowdhary of 20 Lancers in 1997.

He also comes from a distinguished military family. His father, Lieutenant General K.M. Seth retired as Adjutant General of the Army in 1997, back when the new chief himself was a Captain. His brother, Rear Admiral Ravinish Seth is a serving Flag Officer in the Indian Navy.
