Navy Day in India originally coincided with the Royal Navy's Trafalgar Day. On 21 October 1944, the Royal Indian Navy celebrated Navy Day for the first time.
In 1934 the Royal Indian Marine changed its name, with the enactment of the Indian Navy (Discipline) Act of 1934. The Royal Indian Navy was formally inaugurated on 2 October 1934, at Bombay.
Indian Navy operations and administrative control are exercised by the Chief of the Naval Staff (CNS) at the integrated Headquarters of the Ministry of Defence (Navy). The Indian Navy is the marine branch of the Indian Armed Forces, whose commander in chief is the President of India. Maratha emperor Chhatrapati Shivaji Bhosle, known as the "Father of the Indian Navy", is considered the founder of the naval service of the country.
Additionally, the Indian Navy maintains India's international relations and secures the nation's maritime borders through port visits, team training exercises, humanitarian missions, and upheaval assistance, among other activities. Additionally, it seeks to improve conditions in the Indian Ocean Zone.
Navy Day in India celebrated on 4 December every year recognizes the achievements and role of the Indian Navy to the country. So, with this do not forget to salute and show gratitude towards the Men in Uniform. Happy Indian Navy Day!
