Special Children and Senior Citizens Visit Naval Base, Kochi
Special Children and Senior Citizens Visit Naval Base, Kochi
As part of Navy Week 2018 activities, Special Children, and Senior Citizens of Kochi Area were hosted at naval base on 27 November 2018. About 60 special children from various special schools and approximately 100 senior citizens were provided a glimpse of activities at naval base through a guided tour which lasted more than three hours.
The visitors were taken on-board and conducted around Indian Naval Ships Tir and Shardul. Besides the visit to ships, a naval exhibition and screening of a film on Indian Navy were organised for the visitors. The children and the senior citizens also witnessed a precisely executed ‘Continuity Drill’ performed by the naval personnel from the gunnery training establishment of Southern Naval Command, INS Dronacharya, who executed a series of intricate drill manoeuvres in perfect timing with each other, without a single word of command.
The visit was as much a window into the naval life for the visitors as an opportunity to explore their softer side for the naval personnel.
