    ADDRESS BY CNS LAUNCH CEREMONY OF INDIGENOUS AIRCRAFT CARRIER I (INS VIKRANT) AT CSL, KOCHI – 12 AUG 13 1. Shri AK Antony, Hon’ble Raksha Mantri, Shri GK Vasan, Hon’ble Minister for Shipping, Hon’ble Members of Parliament, Hon’ble Members of Legislative Assembly & Council, Vice Admiral Shekhar Sinha, Flag Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Western Naval Command, Vice Admiral Satish Soni, Flag Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Southern Naval Command, Commodore K Subramaniam, Chairman & Managing Director, Cochin Shipyard Limited, Flag Officers, Board of Directors of CSL, the proud work force of CSL, distinguished guests, members of the media, ladies and gentlemen. 2. I would at the outset like to thank the Hon’ble Raksha Mantri and the Hon’ble Minister of Shipping for their presence at this momentous occasion, which is historic not only for the Navy, but for the entire nation. I would also like to compliment the Chairman & Managing Director of Cochin Shipyard and his team for making this occasion a reality. 3. The Navy has always been conscious that designing and building warships is a strategic core capability for any country. After the first indigenous warship INS Ajay was constructed in 1960, 2 the then Prime Minister Smt Indira Gandhi, launched our first indigenous frigate INS Nilgiri in 1968. Since then we have never looked back. 4. The next significant capability achieved was in-house designing. The ships of Godavari, Brahmaputra, Delhi and Shivalik, designed by naval design teams, exemplify this niche competence/ we also constructed two conventional submarines. The valuable exposure to the technical know-how of submarine construction has helped us embark on an indigenous 30 year submarine building programme.

  • The Eagle – August 2014
    The Eagle (A NEWSLETTER OF ONA) ISSUE NO. 30 (For Private Circulation) August 2014 At the entrance to the Singapore museum is written a quote from their mercurial Founder Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew “ Those who do not know their past have no future”. It is always good to keep reminding us Old Nabhaites and present students of The PPS about the origin and objective of starting this great School and its journey from the past to present. This assists us in understanding where we have come from so far and in defining whence from here? A reminder of the origin of “THE SCHOOL SONG” follows. At a special function organized on January 28th 1963, Mr. Terry, Principal of Thapar Polytechnic Institute (later Engineering College and now University) unveiled the School Song composed by Mr. Michael Vodden The tune was set by none other than Mr.Terry himself (accompanied by his wife on the School Piano, now lying in Headmaster’s ofice) . Mr. Vodden mentioned that when he sat for writing the School song, he started with the idea of co- operative service, beginning with the individual and then widening it to School, country and ultimately the entire Mankind. (from the Chronicles). Here is the entire Song that all true Nabhaites remember from the core of their hearts. While we are boys in School, We learn our lives to mould By learning how ourselves to rule Alert and self-controlled. Moving ever onwards inspired by glories past We “ll build a worthy future striving upwards to the last. In Class and House and School Alone we are sure to fail, We must our many talents pool United we‟ll prevail.

  • President's Report 2017
    ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL : 2017 1. Gentlemen, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the second meeting of the present Council. The USI is a unique, autonomous Institution with unequalled expertise in the field of National Security and matters pertaining to the Defence Services. It has built an outstanding reputation over the last 147 years. It is my privilege to present the report of the Institution for the year 2017. A copy of the report has been placed on the table and will be included in the minutes of the meeting. MEMBERSHIP 2. The Institution began with a membership of 215 members and was 3500 when it moved to its present premises in 1996. Today we have 14,321 Members. It is heartening to report that during the current year 137 new Life Members, 43 Associate Members, 107 Ordinary Members and 1217 Course Members were enrolled. This continuous growth exemplifies the support and trust the Institution enjoys. FINANCES 3. The Institution does not get any grant / aid from the Ministry of Defence or the Services. It continues to carry out all its activities from the resources generated within. Since the USI Centres {Center for Strategic Studies and Simulation (CS3) and Center for Armed Forces Historical Research (CAFHR)} are not able to meet their annual expenditure, they are allocated resources from the Corpus Fund. Further, our building and equipment being more than two decades old, now require greater allocation of funds for their renovation and upkeep. 4. The Audit Report and Balance Sheet for 2016-17, Revised Estimates for 2017-18 and Budget Estimates for 2018-19 are already with you.

  • The Legendary John Farley - and the Indian Navy’S Legendary Sea Harriers
    Vice Admiral Shekhar Sinha recalls The Legendary John Farley - and the Indian Navy’s Legendary Sea Harriers t was 1972 and we were Midshipmen under flying training with the IAF. Having “survived” the basic and Iintermediate stages, we were on the last stage at Fighter Training Wing, AFS Hakimpet. ‘Lead-in-fighter training’ in the IAF was going through critical times, with depleting numbers of Vampire trainers and its replacement not yet finalised . Even before we arrived at Hakimpet we knew that ours would possibly be the last course to train on the venerable Vampire. We were six Midshipmen and our leader of Naval pilots was a dashing young Lieutenant ‘Raju’ Sethi. There were numerous rumours floating around as to how the Navy would soon be without a carrier-borne fighter in the foreseeable future. The Sea Hawks were on their last legs post-1971 war, having done outstandingly well to ensure blockade off the erstwhile East Bengal and hastening surrender of the Pakistan Army. That there was no fighter replacement for the Sea Hawk was extremely discouraging to us, the Naval Aviators of No.112 Flying Pilots Course, particularly when all 7 pilots were being trained for the fighter stream. Then we learnt of the visit of the DASD, Captain Ram Tahiliani (later Chief of the Naval Staff) to FTW. One had heard a great deal about him (nicknamed ‘Tally Ho !’) as having been the first Indian Navy pilot to land a Sea Hawk on the INS Vikrant. He was a Flying Instructor and Test Pilot trained in France.

  • DSA Is As Much Yours, As It Is Ours!
    editor-in-chief DSA is as much yours, as it is ours! ntering its second decade of being India’s premier technology showpiece, Aero India has also emerged as the largest show of its kind in Asia. Not that India is the largest aviation market, or aero technology provider, or even an aircraft production giant. None of these apply to India, as yet anyway. Despite all these factors missing, India has succeeded in pushing Aero India to the top of the blocks of aviation shows. The numbers are not staggering as yet, but they're Enevertheless impressive. At the last edition of the biennial event more than 100,000 people attended. Good fi gure for a specialised technology intensive event. But not enough given the scale of India’s potential and emerging manpower talents. It is for the emerging India that Aero India holds great promise and hope. Showcasing the best in the world and the best India has to offer, in the aviation technology sector, the aim is to attract greater talent into this fi eld. Only when more bright young technologists enter this sector will India and its aviation industry pick up pace. At the moment it is not much to talk about. Everyone knows there is potential and everyone also knows there is a huge requirement. But between the potential, the requirement and the delivery, there is a mismatch. And this mismatch has to be overcome to enable India achieve its military-technical potential. Since 1996 Aero India has been the benchmark for aviation enthusiasts and professionals, in the country and outside.
