New Delhi: The Indian Navy is set to induct female sailors for the first time.

Chief of Naval Staff Admiral R Hari Kumar said on Saturday that around 3,000 Agniveers have arrived to join the Navy, of which 341 are women.

“For the first time, we are inducting women sailors,” Admiral Kumar said at a press conference ahead of Navy Day.

“The government has given us clear guidelines on Atmanirbhar Bharat. We have given assurances that the Indian Navy will become Atmanirbhar (self-reliant) by 2047,” the Navy Chief said.

He added that his force aims to have Made-in-India security solutions for the country.

Admiral Kumar said that operationally, Indian Navy had a very intense and engaging time in the last one year, with commissioning of aircraft carrier INS Vikrant being a landmark event for the country.

The People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) of China, which is the world’s largest navy, has been looking to expand its presence in the Indian Ocean over the last two decades.

Addressing concerns over the issue, Admiral Kumar assured that Indian Navy is always keeping a strong vigil over movements of various Chinese military and research vessels in the region.
