INSV Neelkanth to sail from Visakhapatnam to Andamans for ANCs Silver Jubilee Celebrations
Digital Desk | Kolkata, Sep 19 (IANS) The INSV Neelkanth, an ocean-going sailing vessel of the Indian Navy, will sail from the Eastern Naval Command (ENC) headquarters at Visakhapatnam to Sri Vijaya Puram in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The sail ship will embark on a nearly 661.2 nautical miles voyage as part of the Silver Jubilee celebrations of the Andaman and Nicobar Command (ANC), headquartered at Sri Vijaya Puram (earlier Port Blair). Vice Admiral Vineet McCarty, Commander-in-Chief, ANC (CINCAN), interacted with the crew of INSV Neelkanth at Visakhapatnam ahead of the voyage on Saturday, September 19, 2026. The interaction focused on key lessons for the voyage and inspiring the future of sailing in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, the ANC said. The INSV Neelkanth is a nearly 40-foot-long sailing yacht or ocean-racing vessel. It is one of six ocean-going sailing vessels the Navy uses for expeditions and training. The others are INSV Mhadei, INSV Tarini, INSV Bulbul, INSV Hariyali, and INSV Kadalpura. In 2023, the INSV Neelkanth won first place in the Inter Command Ocean Sailing Race by covering 360 nautical miles from Kochi to Goa. During the race, the crew, comprising both men and women, encountered heavy rain and sea states of up to 04, along with speeds gusting over 25 knots for two days. In 2024, the sailing vessel undertook a 100-nautical-mile expedition in 24 hours to mark the Golden Jubilee of the Navys submarine training school INS Satavahana. Earlier, in 2021, it sailed from Chennai to Visakhapatnam to celebrate the Golden Jubilee of the Navys submarine base INS Virbahu. While these expeditions were along the Indian coastline, the voyage to the Andamans will be through open seas. The crew may experience rough weather when approaching the Andaman Sea, with the possibility of a low-pressure system developing over the area. Southwest winds of 2025 knots may blow over the South Andaman Sea, and the sea state may be rough, with poor visibility. The crew is extremely well-trained, and the vessel is capable of handling all weather conditions. In fact, it will be a very good experience for those participating in the expedition, an official said. The ANC is Indias first and only tri-services Command, established on October 1, 2001. The Command, comprising the Indian Navy, Indian Army, Indian Air Force, and Indian Coast Guard, was created to defend the strategic Andaman and Nicobar Islands. In addition to regular surveillance along Indias Exclusive Economic Zone around the archipelago for defence purposes, the ANC also protects the region's fragile ecosystem. It is also tasked with Marine Search and Rescue (MSAR) operations in one of the worlds busiest maritime zones. The ANC has planned a series of activities for its Silver Jubilee celebrations, some of which, involving island residents, have already begun.

A new job an achievement but serving the people is real responsibility: Ram Mohan Naidu
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 19 (IANS) Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu said on Saturday that getting a job is an achievement but serving the people is the real responsibility. He said that as part of the nationwide Rozgar Mela under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, it was immensely heartening to distribute appointment letters to 200 youth in Visakhapatnam. On this occasion, as over 51,000 youth across the country step into new jobs, my heartfelt congratulations to each one of them. May this job bring new confidence to your life. A new opportunity to serve society. Through this platform, I urge you to keep learning continuously, enhance your skills, and move forward to provide even better services to the people, the minister posted on X. Naidu further said: Heartiest congratulations to all 51,000+ youth joining government service across the country. May this new job become a new opportunity to serve society and the nation with dedication. A new job. A new responsibility. A new chapter in nation-building. Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas Hardeep Singh Puri said that he was privileged to participate in the 20th edition of Rozgar Mela with the youth of Sri Amritsar Sahib. As we travel through Amrit Kaal towards Viksit Bharat, our youth are not merely witnessing this journey; they are powering it with their ideas, aspirations and determination, and are shaping the future. Young recruits who received their letters today are entering public service at a transformative moment when technology reshapes governance, AI changes workplaces, and digital platforms bring citizens closer to the State, Puri posted on X. Yet technology can never replace integrity and empathy. As PM Modis message of Nagrik Devo Bhava reminds us, the person must always matter more than the file. This is the mantra with which young people embarking upon their careers must serve the country and citizens, he mentioned. Indias growing startup ecosystem, manufacturing, digital services, electronics, emerging technologies and energy sector are creating new opportunities. Free Trade Agreements are opening new markets, partnerships, and career opportunities for our talented youth. With landmark reforms, legislative changes and new initiatives, Indias energy sector is also playing an important role in this journey towards energy security and green transition. While we are strengthening existing energy infrastructure, India is also opening new energy frontiers like unlocking offshore potential through the Samudra Manthan Mission and turning waste into clean energy and livelihoods through GOBARdhan scheme, Puri highlighted.
