Lieutenant Commander Swati Bhandari discussed how she overcame her fear of heights and developed into an expert aircrew member who has flown both operational and searches and rescue missions.

On Women's Day 2022, she received recognition for her accomplishments from the Ministry of Civil Aviation. Surgeon Commander Shazia Khan, a great expert in gynecological surgery, discussed her experiences as a medical professional as well as the joys of yachting, sailing, and her most recent vehicle rally to Rajasthan, all of which have contributed to the development of her self-assured attitude.

On Republic Day earlier this year, Lieutenant Commander Disha Amrith led the 144-person Indian Navy marching contingent after first participating in the NCC's Republic Day marching contingent.

Lieutenant Commanders Dilna and Roopa, two female officers, are now training to complete the first Asian woman's circumnavigation aboard the INSV Tarini, which is currently cruising in the South Atlantic. It was strange to see them appear live during a video conference.

Mrs. Deepa Bhat Nair, a volunteer spouse of a senior serving naval officer and a professional early interventionist, concluded by discussing the function of the Navy Welfare and Wellness organization (NWWA), which is administered by volunteer spouses. NWWA has developed to embrace gender neutrality in line with the times.

She emphasized the vital role that Navy spouses play in maintaining an efficient support system that helps the families left behind even as the Navy does its duties. The belief and the strength that the families would be taken care of come from the wind beneath the sails.

Modern technology is used on naval platforms, ships, submarines, and planes, thus the Navy places a high priority on the competence and training of its most valuable resource—the people who operate these devices. The Military Forces are made up of people from various ages, professions, and regions of India. This is also true of the Indian Navy.

An Indian Navy Warship is sometimes referred to be a brilliant illustration of India's variety and as a microcosm of true India.

Although women have previously served in the Navy in some areas, the recent attempts to open all branches to both officers and sailors is a brave, transformational move. The two-day event was completed, and it should be emphasized.
