My greetings to you and all personnel of the Indian Navy on the occasion of Navy Day! Today, on the 4th of December, we celebrate our glorious victory in the 1971 war and commemorate the selfless service and supreme sacrifice made by naval personnel in defence of the motherland.
I am confident that the Indian Navy will continue to ensure maritime security, essential to enable our rise to a Viksit Bharat by 2047.
With 63 ships being built in India, the Navy’s single-minded focus to be an Aatmanirbhar force by 2047 provides inspiration to all of us to pursue innovation in ‘Mission Mode.’
The Navy’s pioneering efforts in providing appropriate growth avenues to ‘Nari Shakti’ are especially praiseworthy.
The President said that the seamless integration of advanced technology, tactical acumen and sheer courage on display in the Operational Demonstration aptly showcase the evolution of our Navy into a combat-ready, future-ready and credible force.
