Navy gears up for 76th Republic Day parade, women Agniveers to debut with band


Just four days before the 76th Republic Day, the Navy showcased its meticulous preparations for the mega parade, reflecting a blend of discipline, diversity, and dedication under the leadership of Lieutenant Commander Sahil Ahluwalia.

The contingent is offering a glimpse into the Navy’s pivotal role in safeguarding the nation’s maritime interests.

The Navy’s marching contingent will comprise 144 young personnel including officers and sailors, representing a “Mini India” with personnel from 17 states and Union Territories.

With an average age of just 25 years, these personnel have undergone two months of rigorous training to perfect their performance for the grand parade. The contingent is poised to highlight the Navy’s commitment to excellence and unity in diversity.
