India's preparedness after the clash 

Post-Galwan clash, India held high-level talks with China, on diplomatic and military levels as well. The multiple rounds of talks holding a series of discussions between both sides eventually led to the de-escalation of tensions at the LAC and China's pullback from several territories as well. India has also undertaken some major developments after one year of the Galwan clash. These include building infrastructure to enhance connectivity and deploying additional troops to tackle any possible aggression by the Chinese. 

As for the infrastructure, the biggest achievements have been clinched by the day and night work of the Border Roads Organisation (BRO). In addition, connectivity has helped Armed forces to keep all their forward locations supplied throughout the year and given them the capability to deploy troops in no time there. Officials informed, "The Mathura-based One Strike Corps has been reoriented towards the northern borders in Ladakh and the 17 Mountain Strike Corps has been given the charge of the entire northeastern states along with providing it an additional Division comprising over 10,000 troops".
