He said that the Indian Navy is ready to meet both challenges. He said that out of 39 warships and submarines being built for the Indian Navy, 37 are being built in India under 'Make in India', which reflects our quest for a self-reliant India.

The Navy is gearing up to induct women in various capacities. Hari Kumar said that the creation of the Department of Military Affairs (DMA), along with the creation of the post of CDS, is the biggest reform in the Army since independence. It enables faster decision-making and bureaucracy. Let us tell you that Indian Navy Day is celebrated every year on 4th December.
