Parag Jain is currently head of Raw’s Aviation Wing ARC (Aviation Research Center). During the Operation Sindoor, the ARC had provided an accurate location of the terrorist bases of Pakistan to the Indian Army, due to which the operation could be successfully carried out. Parag Jain has also been deployed in Jammu and Kashmir for a long time and has contributed significantly to many military operations such as Balakot Aircrafts. Parag Jain was posted there even during the removal of Section 370 in Jammu and Kashmir. Parag Jain is a batchmate of India’s current Foreign Secretary Vikram Egyptian. He is an anti-terrorism expert and has a deep focus on the Afghan-Pak region.
Jain also has experience of working in Indian missions in Sri Lanka and Canada. When Parag Jain was in Canada, he kept an eye on the anti -India Khalistani terrorist module from there and gathered a lot of intelligence about it, due to which the country benefited greatly. Let us tell you that in 1962, when India was being warned with China, the Aviation Research Center was established. The main task of this wing is to detect enemy military, sensitive and secret locations, monitor them (from aerial surveillance to imagery). The ARC also has its reconnaissance aircraft and helicopters like the Air Force, with the help of which they do their work.
