Mr Modi will also attend the programme, marking the Navy Day 2023 celebrations. He will witness the Operational Demonstrations by Indian Navy’s ships, submarines, aircraft and special forces from Tarkarli beach, Sindhudurg.

Navy day is celebrated on 4th December every year. Navy Day 2023 celebrations at Sindhudurg pays homage to the rich maritime heritage of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, whose seal inspired the new Naval Ensign which was adopted last year when the Prime Minister commissioned the first indigenous aircraft carrier INS Vikrant.

Every year, on the occasion of Navy Day, there is a tradition of organising Operational Demonstrations by the Indian Navy’s ships, submarines, aircraft and special forces. These demonstrations provide an opportunity to the people to witness various facets of multi-domain operations undertaken by the Indian Navy.

It highlights the Navy’s contributions towards national security, to the public, while also heralding maritime consciousness amongst citizens.
