The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, will dedicate to the nation, the naval submarine INS Kalvari, at Mumbai on Thursday.
The INS Kalvari is a diesel-electric attack submarine that has been built for the Indian Navy by the Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited. It is the first of six such submarines that will be inducted into the Indian Navy, and represents a significant success for the "Make in India" initiative. The project has been undertaken with French collaboration.
The Prime Minister will dedicate the submarine at the Naval Dockyard, in the presence of the Defence Minister, important dignitaries of the Maharashtra Government, and senior Naval Officers. He will address the gathering, and undertake a visit of the submarine.
The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, shared a Sanskrit Subhashitam emphasising on sacred Earth as a source of strength to the nation:
“यार्णवेऽधि सलिलमग्र आसीद्यां मायाभिरन्वचरन्मनीषिणः।
यस्या हृदयं परमे व्योमन्त्सत्येनावृतममृतं पृथिव्याः।
सा नो भूमिस्त्विषिं बलं राष्ट्रे दधातूत्तमे॥”
The Subhashitam conveys that, the Earth, which is filled with water within the oceans, and surrounded by water outside, which thoughtful scholars have understood through their wisdom, and whose heart is covered by the eternal truth in the vast sky – may that earth, sustain our energy and strength in a noble nation.
The Prime Minister wrote on X;
“यार्णवेऽधि सलिलमग्र आसीद्यां मायाभिरन्वचरन्मनीषिणः।
यस्या हृदयं परमे व्योमन्त्सत्येनावृतममृतं पृथिव्याः।
सा नो भूमिस्त्विषिं बलं राष्ट्रे दधातूत्तमे॥”
यार्णवेऽधि सलिलमग्र आसीद्यां मायाभिरन्वचरन्मनीषिणः।
