Indian Navy’s All Women Car Rally Flagged

The All-Women Car Rally, comprising women officers of the Indian Navy and members of the Navy Wellness and Welfare Association (NWWA), was Flagged-in, 25 Feb 23 by Adm R Hari Kumar, CNS and Mrs Kala Hari Kumar, President NWWA.
In his address the CNS congratulated the participants on not only completing the memorable journey covering 2300 km but also touching the lives and minds of many, as part of the outreach programmes. He expressed confidence that the interactions with young girls at private and government schools enroute, would motivate them to pursue their ambitions, including joining the Indian Navy and the Armed Forces. “A small spark today, will pave way for a big leap tomorrow” he said.
Emphasizing Indian Navy’s gender neutral outlook, the CNS spoke about various significant steps – like the maiden induction of women Agniveers last year and the opening up of all branches and specialisations for women officers. “It is quite clear to us that it will be Nari Shakti that will propel India’s growth in this Amrit Kaal” he said.
He complimented the Navy Wellness and Welfare Association (NWWA) on the community outreach during the journey, in helping organisations involved in the noble work of supporting abandoned elders, as well as underprivileged and special children. “While this rally has made its contribution, I am sure NWWA will continue to play its part in assisting people in need as a compassionate caregiver”.
