SYNOPSIS

INTRODUCTION
India has rich Military heritage which needs to be known and embraced. All Indians who are leading
their lives in peace or distress should be aware that their existence is dependent on the people who
fight everyday with enemies as well as the harsh geographical factors and climatic variations. The
Proposed study will strive towards educating and making people aware of their own armed forces,
namely The Indian Naval Service. The world’s largest democracy, India having one of the largest
armies should be celebrated and put up to all people of the country so that they can experience,
absorb and feel proud. It’s an approach to pay tribute to the celebrated Indian Navy and to give them
the respect that they deserve, which was deprived off over the years.
