In the past, security concerns in the Indo-Pacific region and the Indian Ocean have been ignored for a long time. But today this area is a big defense priority of the country for us. That is why we are working in every direction from increasing the budget for the Navy to increasing its capacity: PM
When Vikrant lands to protect our maritime area, many women soldiers of the Navy will also be deployed on it. Immense women power with the unfathomable power of the sea, it is becoming the lofty identity of new India: PM
