This is the Indian Navy’s ninth Agniveer batch. Indian Coast Guard Naviks are passing out too. All of them complete 16 weeks of ab initio training with this parade, India’s defence ministry said.
Indian Navy Chief Admiral Krishna Swaminathan would review the parade as the chief guest. The Navy spokesperson said that it would be streamed live on the Indian Navy’s official social media pages, so that people across India can watch it.
