BASIC INFO ABOUT INDIAN NAVY

Now friends we are now going to show the sequence of the

presentation

The Indian Navy (IN; IAST: Bhāratīya Nau Senā) is the naval branch of

the Indian Armed Forces. The President of India is the Supreme
Commander of the Indian Navy. The Chief of Naval Staff, a four-
star Admiral, commands the navy.
The Indian Navy traces its origins back to the East India Company's
Marine which was founded in 1612 to protect British merchant
shipping in the region. In 1793, the East India Company established
its rule over eastern part of the Indian subcontinent i.e. Bengal, but it
was not until 1830 that the colonial navy was titled as Her Majesty's
Indian Navy. When India became a republic in 1950, the Royal Indian
Navy as it had been named since 1934 was renamed to Indian Navy.
The primary objective of the navy is to safeguard the nation's
maritime borders, and in conjunction with other Armed Forces of the
union, act to deter or defeat any threats or aggression against the
territory, people or maritime interests of India, both in war and peace.
Through joint exercises, goodwill visits and humanitarian missions,
including disaster relief, Indian Navy promotes bilateral relations
between nations.
As of March 2017, 67,109 personnel are in service with the Indian
Navy, of which 10,279 are officers.[1] As of October 2017, the
