Dhowan inaugurates Conclave of Chiefs

New Delhi, May 28 (IBNS) In a first of its kind, Admiral RK Dhowan, CNS, on Thursday inaugurated the 'Conclave of Chiefs' on the sidelines of the Naval Commanders' Conference.

The meeting, included for the first time as part of the naval calendar, provided an opportunity for the former Chiefs to interact with the Commanders and other Senior officers and be apprised with the latest developments in the Indian Navy and its future plans.

A key take away from the Conclave was the guidance and views that the erstwhile Chiefs had on a myriad of issues. It was intended to take advantage of their experience, knowledge and collective wisdom to chart the path ahead for the Indian Navy.

It is on record that each former Chief played an important role in shaping the Navy and today’s Indian Navy is a result of the collective effort put in by this extended naval family.

Besides being a reunion of sorts, a broad overview of the numerous progressive steps being taken on operational, material and personnel issues by the Navy; was also presented during the Conclave.

The ex Chiefs were also provided a perspective on the achievements of the Service and the future plans anchored on the ‘Make’ in India’ initiative.

The spouses of the Chiefs were given an overview of the efforts of the Navy Wives Welfare Association and the efforts of the Indian Navy in the areas of community welfare and development, particularly with regard to the naval families.
