Reinforce my quest for knowledge, integrity and leadership. Help me uphold the honour and dignity of the Academy and the officer corps. Kindle in me the loyalty to the principles of the academy that places all issues above Personal considerations and eschew any compromise with vice and injustice. Guide me to live my life to the fullest in realization of my true self; to always measure up to the high ideals of my chosen profession of arms. Inspire in me to triumph as a considerate victor in every game of life, be it mere sports or life’s higher struggles and help me sight opportunities even in the failure. Give me the physical strength for those who need protection, strength of character to lead the men I have the honour and privilege to command, to be concerned for those who have led their faith in me. Let me know no fear when truth and right are in peril. Imbibe in me the courage to suppress all seeds of cowardice and fear in my heart. The courage to face and overcome my own doubts and prejudices; the fortitude to defend the right and shun the wrong. Grant me the courage for honest dealing and clean thinking to spurn hypocrisy and all pretense. And above all the courage to preserve the honour and dignity of my country against external aggression and internal disorder, even to the peril of my life.

I have now Ispent two terms here at the academy and I have been impressed and heartened by what I have seen. The INA is today an institution we all can be proud of and this is clearly reflected in the eyes of the trainees passing out, when they take their parents and guardians around the academy. The INA is the single point of entry for all young men and women aspiring to join the Indian Navy as officers. The transformation wrought by the Academy is profound. In four years, potential officer candidates are transformed from boys to confident young men with a strong foundation of quality engineering education; who are physically fit, mentally alert, robust, resilient and fully imbued in the Navy’s core values of Duty, Honour and Courage: In short, promising officer material, who with further training would be capable of assuming junior leadership roles, and man the technology-intensive platforms of the Indian Navy. The transformation of the NOC trainees is no less momentous, especially considering the shorter time they spend here. Theirs is a steeper learning curve and they should be proud of the fact that they have coped successfully with the concentrated dose imparted by the academy. Only when you look back will you realise how significant this transformation has been. While the flag ship course of the INA is the 4 year Indian Naval Academy Course with emphasis on the B Tech program, all other officer entry programs are brought together here, each with its specific requirement and desired end state. There is therefore, considerable variance in the type of training imparted to different courses but all have the singular aim of making each and every trainee a good officer, capable and fit for purpose. To enable you to put in perspective all that you have done at the Academy, I will highlight certain key aspects about the Indian Navy. It is a very potent force, counted one amongst the large and powerful navies of the world. Our force structure is centred on the Carrier Battle Group, which gives us immense combat potential, flexibility and sustainability. We have inducted new capabilities in recent years that have changed the way we operate at sea. Our primary role in peace time is to deter conflict; we deter because we are well equipped, well trained and have the resolve to wage and win wars. In recent years the Indian Navy has committed itself to be the net security provider in the Indian Ocean Region

  • Cadet's Hand Book (Navy)
    1 CADET’S HAND BOOK (NAVY) SPECIALISED SUBJECT 2 Preface 1. National Cadet Corps (NCC), came into existence, on 15 July 1948 under an Act of Parliament. Over the years, NCC has spread its activities and values, across the length and breadth of the country; in schools and colleges, in almost all the districts of India. It has attracted millions of young boys and girls, to the very ethos espoused by its motto, “unity and discipline” and molded them into disciplined and responsible citizens of the country. NCC has attained an enviable brand value for itself, in the Young India’s mind space. 2. National Cadet Corps (NCC), aims at character building and leadership, in all walks of life and promotes the spirit of patriotism and National Integration amongst the youth of the country. Towards this end, it runs a multifaceted training; varied in content, style and processes, with added emphasis on practical training, outdoor training and training as a community. 3. With the dawn of Third Millennia, there have been rapid strides in technology, information, social and economic fields, bringing in a paradigm shift in learning field too; NCC being no exception. A need was felt to change with times. NCC has introduced its New Training Philosophy, catering to all the new changes and developments, taking place in the Indian Society. It has streamlined and completely overhauled its training philosophy, objectives, syllabus, methodology etc, thus making it in sync with times. Subjects like National Integration, Personality Development and Life Skills, Social Service and Community Development activities etc, have been given prominent thrust.

  • The Regional Scenario and India's National Security Challenges
    Centre for Public Policy Research Independent. In-depth. Insightful The Regional Scenario and India’s National Security Challenges By Admiral Arun Prakash (Retd) Transcript of the lecture delivered by former Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Arun Prakash, PVSM, AVSM, VrC, VSM at the 16th edition of CPPR Quarterly Lecture Series, on the topic ‘India’s Security Challenges’, held on 15 October, 2019 at Kochi Introduction The Indian Navy (IN) has an umbilical connection with the state of Kerala on two counts. First, since 1950, INS Venduruthy, on Willingdon Island, has been the alma mater of a very ​ large proportion of IN personnel who receive their initial training in the ‘warfare schools’ located here. Second, thanks to the State government’s generous contribution of a large tract of land near Kannur; the grand Indian Naval Academy (INA) has been located at Ezhimala. Future generations of naval officers — not just of the Indian Navy, but also of many foreign countries — will emerge from the portals of the INA. Quite apart from the IN connection, Kerala has seen an ancient maritime tradition going back 3–4 millennia when ports like Muziris/Kodungallur saw vigorous seaborne trade with Rome, Middle East and Africa. However, due to want of written historical records, this important aspect of our maritime heritage has faded from public memory. In 1925, when the British geo-strategist Halford Mackinder declared that, ”...the leading seafaring races of antiquity came at all times from... the Aegean Sea”, it was Indian diplomat/historian, Sardar K M Panikkar who took exception and stated: “Perhaps ​ ​ Mackinder was thinking about the seafaring traditions of Europe.
