Admiral Dinesh Kumar Tripathi takes charge as the Chief of the Indian Navy.  The special thing during this time was that as soon as he took charge, he went straight to his mother Rajni Tripathi and took her blessings by touching her feet.  Seeing this, all the officers present there became emotional.  Apart from this, he paid tribute to the martyred heroes at the National War Memorial.  He was given a ceremonial guard of honor at the lawns of South Block, Raisina Hills.My aim is to prepare the Navy for future challenges.

During this, while talking to the media, he said that I will try my best to prepare the Navy for future challenges.  It will be my endeavor to work towards self-reliance and adopting new technologies.  I will strengthen the efforts of the Indian Navy under Developed India.  He said that my priority is to make our soldiers more efficient.  I will work to provide them with the best weapons, training and administrative support along with a professional environment.  He said that in the last few years our Navy has become more prepared for war.  I express my gratitude to all the former Chiefs for strengthening the Navy
