The Naval Officers informed that as part of Indian Navy’s Awareness Campaign, an Outreach Programme was conducted by an Indian Navy team at National Institute of Technology (NIT) and North Eastern Regional Institute of Science and Technology (NERIST), Itanagar, Arunachal Pradesh.
The young minds were given an insight into the Indian Navy. While encouraging the students to avail opportunities of joining the Indian Navy, several avenues and various modalities for joining the Indian Navy were highlighted. The interaction programme received a very enthusiastic and positive response from students and faculty of the institute.
The Indian Navy is the maritime branch of the Indian Armed Forces and is one of the most prestigious maritime forces in the world. The Indian Navy is expected to deter all maritime threats to the country and ensure safe passage to our energy and other resources by ensuring protection of sea-lanes of communications.
The job of an Indian Naval Officer also includes navigation, rescuing stranded castaways, and general maintenance and upkeep of heavy machinery. They enable diplomacy, search and rescue operations, anti piracy operations and defence of our territorial waters.
