A 5000-km motorcycle expedition was flagged off from the National War Memorial here on Thursday as part of the Navy’s initiative to increase awareness about the service in Ladakh and engage with the youth and civil society there.
The main objectives of this outreach programme are to celebrate ‘Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav’ and conduct awareness drives in schools and colleges in Ladakh about the career opportunities offered by the Indian Navy, including the Agnipath scheme, the officials said.
It also seeks to motivate the youth to join the Indian Navy, showcase ‘Nari Shakti’, an initiative of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and interact with naval veterans and ‘Veer Naris’ in the region, the Defence Ministry said in a statement.
