New Delhi. A 10 -member team of women officers of the Indian Army, Air Force and Navy came out on the IASV Triveni and went out to the earth. Union Defense Minister Rajnath Singh flagged off the women’s military officers through video conferencing. Riding on the vessel IASV Triveni built in India, the team will cover a distance of about 26000 knots (45000 km). Addressing the Flag of Ceremony, Rajnath Singh said, I am confident that our daughters will fulfill this practice and show the world that the might of Indian woman is beyond any border.

The Defense Minister said, “For the first time in history, the women officers of the three forces Thal, Water and Air Force are coming together on the same flag on the same flag. It should be seen not only as a campaign, but as a symbol of the collective power of our armed forces. During this journey, they will face the world’s most difficult sea routes. This is not just a ship journey. It is also a spiritual practice. It is also a journey of discipline and will. I know, in this journey you will have to struggle with severe storms, loneliness, fatigue and sometimes disappointment. But I also know that the light of the resolution that is burning in your hearts will rip all these darknesses. When you return, then you will not return just by circling the sea, you will return to India by registering a new record.

Rajnath Singh said that another major feature of this journey is that it will also give diplomatic sensation from India from the Ocean. This journey is not only limited to adventure and cards, but it is also a wonderful example of India’s military diplomacy. IASV Triveni itself is also an identity and achievement of self -reliant India. Designed and manufactured in the country itself shows India’s confidence in the vessel, defense innovation and technology. Every nautical mile trip set by Triveni is a visit to India’s strategic autonomy and self -reliance.
