In a historic moment for India’s maritime tradition and a testament to gender equality in the armed forces, two Indian Navy women officers are set to embark on a groundbreaking global circumnavigation aboard the Indian Naval Sailing Vessel (INSV) Tarini. Lieutenant Commander Roopa A and Lieutenant Commander Dilna K, who have been preparing rigorously for the past three years, will undertake this mission as part of the second edition of the Navika Sagar Parikrama expedition, titled “Navika Sagar Parikrama II.”
