All participating elements in the Republic Day Parade 2024 will be showcasing an unwavering commitment to national security, in line with the Indian Navy’s vision of being a ‘Combat Ready, Credible, Cohesive and Future-proof force.’ According to an Indian Navy statement, Aatma Nirbharta and Nari Shakti. This time, the naval contingent would be made up of 144 young men and women who would march side by side along the famed Kartavyapath, symbolizing the Indian Navy’s status as a force that is progressive, powerful, and gender-neutral. As the contingent commander, Lt Prajwal will lead with pride, assisted by Lts. Mudita Goyal, Sharvani Supreiya, and Devika H as the platoon commanders.
The Indian Navy remains steadfast in its commitment to safeguard India’s maritime interests. The Indian Navy’s tableau for 2024 is a vivid representation of two important and contemporary themes; the first is of Nari Shakti with women in the Indian Navy in all Roles and across all Ranks.
The main section of the tableau reflects the second contemporary theme; “Sea Power Across the Oceans Through Indigenisation”. The tableau depicts the very first fully indigenous Carrier Battle Group, comprising the Aircraft Carrier Vikrant, her highly capable escort ships INS Delhi, Kolkata and Shivalik, the Light Combat Aircraft and Advanced Light Helicopter, the Kalvari class Submarine and the GSAT-7, Rukmani Satellite.
