Naval Staff Chief Admiral R. Hari Kumar will be the event’s most important guest. He will also give out awards to those who deserve them. Reviewing Officer of POP Vice Admiral MA Hampiholi, Flag Officer Commanding-in-Chief and Southern Naval Command, will be at the parade, along with many other senior naval officers and dignitaries.
To honor the work of the late General Bipin Rawat, who was the first Chief of Defence Staff, the Indian Navy has set up the “General Bipin Rawat Rolling Trophy” for the woman Agniveer trainee who stands first in terms of overall merit. The deserving woman Agniveer would get this trophy from the daughters of General Rawat.
Mithali Raj, the former captain of the Indian women’s team, and PT Usha, the president of the Indian Olympics Association, will also be there. Veterans who served as sailors and did well in their jobs after they left will be at the POP event.
ABOUT INDIAN NAVY ‘AGNIVEERS’
On June 14, 2022, the defense minister kicked off the Agnipath Scheme. In line with the government’s plan for a merit-based Agnipath recruitment scheme across all of India, the Indian Navy set up its selection, training, and deployment methods to lay the groundwork for “agniveers” who are technically ready.
As part of their training to become “sea warriors,” the Agniveers spent 16 weeks at the INS Chilka, which is the best place for the Indian Navy to train sailors. The training at INS Chilka is based on the core naval values of duty, honor, and courage. It includes classroom, service, and outdoor training.
