Operation Vijay was launched by the Indian Army in 1999 during the Kargil War, a critical chapter in Indian military history. This high-altitude conflict is a frequently asked topic in SSB interviews and written exams, making it vital for those enrolled in the Indian Army coaching centre Madurai or seeking Defence exam coaching Madurai.

With full-scale mobilisation and support from the Indian Air Force’s Operation Safed Sagar, India launched a coordinated assault to recapture key peaks in the Drass, Kargil, and Batalik sectors.
