History[edit]
Origin[edit]
A Military Department was created by the Supreme Government of the British East India Company at Kolkata in the year 1776.[11] Its main function was to co-ordinate and record orders, relating to the Army, issued by various Departments of the Government of the East India Company. The Military Department initially functioned as a branch of the Public Department and maintained a list of Army personnel.[11]
With the Charter Act of 1833 the Secretariat of the Government of the East India Company was re-organised into four Departments, each headed by a Secretary to the Government.[11] The Armies in the Presidencies of Bengal, Bombay & Madras functioned as the respective Presidency Armies until April 1895, when the Presidency Armies were unified into a single Indian Army. For administrative convenience, it was divided into four Commands; Punjab (including the North West Frontier), Bengal (including Burma), Madras and Bombay (including Sind, Quetta and Aden).[11]
The supreme authority over the Indian Army was vested in the Governor General-in-Council, subject to the Control of the Crown, which was exercised by the Secretary of State for India. Two Members in the Council were responsible for military affairs. One was the Military Member, who supervised all administrative and financial matters. The other was the Commander-in-Chief who was responsible for all operational matters.[11] The Military Department was abolished in March 1906 and was replaced by two separate Departments; the Army Department and the Military Supply Department. In April 1909 the Military Supply Department was abolished and its functions were taken over by the Army Department. The Army Department was re-designated as the Defence Department in January 1938. The Department of Defence became the Ministry of Defence under a Cabinet Minister in August 1947.[11]
Post Independence Changes[edit]
The functions of MOD which in 1947 was mainly logistic support to the Armed Forces, has undergone far reaching changes. In November 1962, following the 1962 war, a Department of Defence Production was set-up to deal with research, development and production of defence equipment. In November 1965, the Department of Defence Supplies was created for planning and execution of schemes for import substitution of requirements for defence purposes. These two Departments were later merged to form the Department of Defence Production and Supplies.
In 1980, the Department of Defence Research and Development was created. In January 2004, the Department of Defence Production and Supplies was renamed the Department of Defence Production. A Scientific Adviser to the Defence Minister was appointed to advise on scientific aspects of military equipment and the research and design of Defence forces equipment. The Department of Ex-Servicemen Welfare was created in 2004.
Organisation[edit]
Departments[edit]
The Ministry of Defence consists of four Departments; Department of Defence, Department of Defence Production, Department of Defence Research & Development, and Department of Ex-Servicemen Welfare. The Defence Secretary functions as head of the Department of Defence,[12][13] and is additionally responsible for coordinating the activities of the four Departments in the Ministry.[12][13]
The principal functions of all the Departments are as follows:
The Department of Defence (DoD), headed by the Defence Secretary, deals with the Integrated Defence Staff (IDS), the three Services, the Indian Coast Guard, the paramilitary forces and various Inter-Service Organisations. It is also responsible for the Defence Budget, establishment matters, defence policy, matters relating to the Parliament, defence co-operation with foreign countries and coordination of all activities.[12][13]
The Department of Defence Production (DPP), headed by the Defence Production Secretary, was set up in November 1962 and is responsible for matters pertaining to defence production, planning and control of departmental production units of the Ordnance Factories Board, indigenisation of imported stores equipment and spares, and for Defence Public Sector Undertakings (HAL, BEL, BEML, BDL, MDL, GSL, GRSE, Midhani).[13][14]
The Department of Defence Research and Development (DDRD), headed by the Defence Research and Development Secretary and ex-officio Chairman of DRDO, was formed in 1958, after the three-way merger of Technical Development Establishment (TDEs) of the Indian Army and the Directorate of Technical Development and Production (DTDP) and the Defence Science Organisation (DSO). The Department is responsible for Defence Research Development Organization (DRDO).[13][15]
The Department of Ex-Servicemen Welfare (DESW), headed by the Ex-Servicemen Welfare Secretary, was set up in 2004 to look after Veteran Affairs. The Directorate General of Resettlement, the Kendriya Sainik Welfare Board and Ex-Servicemen Contributory Health Scheme come under the purview of DESW.[13][16]

In addition, she hosted The Tyra Banks Show, a daytime talk show aimed at younger women, which premiered on September 12, 2005, and ran until May 28, 2010.[28] In 2008, Banks won the Daytime Emmy Award for her work and production on The Tyra Banks Show,[29] and won for the second time in a row for outstanding, informative talkshow in 2009.[30] On May 30, 2014, Disney–ABC Domestic Television announced their plans to develop a lifestyle syndicated talk show, with Banks serving as executive producer and host, to debut sometime in 2015.[31][32]

It was really bad, but that made me strong."[52] In 2009, she opened up about her past relationships when she made a guest appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show, hosting alongside Oprah Winfrey.
