    Operation Sankalp. Indian Navy’s Gulf / West Asia maritime security mission, not local civic uplift.

  2. B

    Operation Maitri

    Operation Maitri. India’s Nepal earthquake relief, 2015.

  3. C

    Operation Sadbhavana

    Operation Sadbhavana. Army civic action in remote areas — schools, health, basic needs.

  4. D

    Operation Madam

    Operation Madam (as printed). Navy flood-relief missions use other names; this is not the standing civic-action label.
