SAMADHAN Strategy
India's Counter-LWE Framework
Introduced by the Ministry of Home Affairs in 2017, SAMADHAN is a comprehensive counter-insurgency framework that integrates security operations with development, rehabilitation, and governance. The acronym stands for: Smart Leadership, Aggressive Strategy, Motivation and Training, Actionable Intelligence, Data-Driven Monitoring, Harnessing Technology, Area-Specific Action Plans, and No Access to Financing. It moved India away from state-by-state reactive policing towards a unified national approach coordinating central paramilitary forces (CRPF, CoBRA battalions) with state police under Unified Command structures.
- CoBRA (Combat Battalion for Resolute Action) — specialised CRPF unit trained for jungle warfare, deployed extensively in Bastar
- SAMADHAN mandates that surrenders be paired with monetary assistance, vocational training, and housing under rehabilitation schemes such as Poona Margem
- Technology elements include UAV surveillance, satellite imagery, and improved communication grids in erstwhile insurgency zones
- Road construction, mobile connectivity, and banking access in cleared areas are integral to the doctrine's development component
