The parade was reviewed by Vice Admiral Anup Singh, PVSM, AVSM, NM, ADC, the Flag Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Eastern Naval Command. The ceremony culminated with the trainees marching past the Quarter deck, in slow march, to the poignant tune of Auld Lang Syne, a traditional martial tune played across the Armed Forces when they say goodbye to colleagues and comrades. Those passing out included 28 trainees of the 82nd Naval Academy Course after a three year of training period with a BSc degree and 168 trainees of the 12th Naval Orientation Course after a gruelling six month training. The latter included 59 Coast Guard trainees and 14 women trainees.

Speaking on the occasion the Admiral exhorted the trainees of the importance of honing the skills they have gained at INA and reiterated the need for setting high degree of professionalism and conduct. “We earnestly hope that the occasion of war never comes, but if it does, then this nation must win, and the primary contributor in securing a decisive victory will be India’s Armed Forces” the Admiral said. He also congratulated the award winners and the parents of passing out trainees. Academy Cadet Captain Arun Kumar was awarded the Presidents Gold Medal for being adjudged first in overall order of merit in 82nd NAC while Academy Cadet Adjutant Samir Kumar and Cadet APS Yadav won the silver and bronze medals respectively. For the Naval Orientation Course, the Chief of the Naval staff silver medal was awarded to Sub lieutenant Savtanter Saini for standing first in overall merit while Assistant Commandant Naresh Kumar was awarded the Commandant INA Bronze Medal for standing second in the overall order of merit.

    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.
