Introduction:

Women occupy almost all the major roles in society. Women’s achievements are remarkable in various fields. One of the achievements is the all-women Indian Navy who went round the world for 254 days all alone in a sailboat.

Navika Sagar Parikrama:

Navika Sagar Parikarma was a project, it was undertaken to empower women. It is initiated in the navy for Nari Sakthi. It depicts the Government of India’s thrust for women’s power. INSV stands for Indian Naval Ship Vessel. INSV Tarini is the second sailboat of the Indian Navy.

Sort of Training:

They were selected based on their skills. They started classroom courses. Later they were given hands-on training.

The voyage aimed to showcase the “Make in India” initiative. The crew was skippered by It. Commander Vartika Joshi. The voyage started from Goa on 10 Sep. 2017. It returned to Goa on 21 May 2018 after 254 days. They faced unpredictable challenges during their expedition.

Moral: Women are the real architects of society

30. Write in detail about the selection and training process which the crew underwent. 

Answer:

Indian Navy’s all-women adventure sailing crew, which aimed at several record-making I achievements with an ambitious circumnavigation of the globe, was in the capital to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the top brass of the Navy, before it embarked on a voyage to circumnavigate earth.

The selection process was indeed not an easy one. In order to promote ocean sailing activities and to encourage women empowerment, the Indian Navy conceptualized this idea of the First Indian All Women Circumnavigation of the Globe. Out of the thirty women who had applied, six of them were shortlisted, based on the little survival skills they showcased. They were led by Lieutenant Commander Vartika Joshi.

These officers had done basic sail training courses at INWTC Mumbai followed by Navigation, Seamanship, Communication and Meteorology courses at various naval training schools at Kochi. After completion of theoretical courses, the officers sailed INSV Mhadei to Vizag for the International Fleet Review 2016 and thereafter to Mauritius and back.

Following that, they sailed the boat on a gruelling voyage to Cape Town in December. Lt. Commander Jamwal revealed that they were selected from different cadres and trained extensively for three-years where they learnt about navigation, communication, weather prediction and sailing.

The selected team was extensively mentored and trained by Dilip Donde, the first Indian to circumnavigate the globe from the Navy in the project ‘Sagar Parikrama’.Classroom courses were different from sailing outside.

So, they were given hands-on training, like, how to repair things and how to deal with emergencies, when the weather got rough. They underwent basic sail training courses in Mumbai at the Indian Naval Waterman ship Training Centre (INWTC), and at various schools in the southern naval base in Kochi.

They even sailed on INSV Mhadei to Mauritius (in 2016 and 2017) and back and also to Cape Town in December 2016. They were trained for almost three years to prepare for the voyage.

“Confidence comes from discipline and training.”

31. Man does change with time' - What were the various changes that came about in Aditya ?

Answer: :

Man does change with time. According to Sanyal, Aditya was a boy who could never compete him in scholastic or non-scholastic activities. He was a liar and an envious personality. But, years later Aditya no longer is the same personality. He is more matured and responsible. His childish nature makes him feel guilty for stealing the medal that belonged to Sanyal.

Aditya now wanted to restore Sanyal, his lost happiness. Knowing about his financial constraints, he decides to give him the cost of the silver medal. He drives with a firm determination to his ancestral house. When he reaches, he rushes to the attic. Aditya gets on top of a packing case and pushes his hand inside the ventilator, upsetting a sparrow’s nest. However, he heaves a sigh of relief when he gets what he had been looking for. He goes straight to the Jeweller to determine the current rate of the medal in the market.

All these surely show a remarkable change in him. Even when Sanyal behaves rudely, Aditya is courteous and friendly. His only intention is penitence. He is so mature that he even understands and justifies the grievances Sanyal had in his heart. When Sanyal prefers the medal, without second thoughts he restores it to Sanyal whole-heartedly.

“Change is universal.”

Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit

Where the mind is led forward by thee

Into ever widening thought and action

Into that heaven of freedom, my father, let my country awake
