On December 28, President Droupadi Murmu will take an extraordinary submarine sea voyage from Karwar Port in Karnataka. The Rashtrapati Bhavan announced this on Friday, highlighting the opportunity to closely observe the might and technology of the Indian Navy.
President Murmu's four-day visit begins this Saturday. She will depart for Goa on the evening of December 27.
December 28 (Karnataka): Embarkation on a submarine sea journey from Karwar Harbor. This rare and significant event will undoubtedly boost the morale of the naval personnel, offering the President a glimpse into the mysterious underwater world.
December 29 (Jharkhand): Attending the centenary celebrations of the 'Ol Chiki' script in Jamshedpur. Ol Chiki is the script for the Santali language, innovatively created by Pandit Raghunath Murmu.
On the same day: Addressing the 15th convocation of the National Institute of Technology (NIT) in Jamshedpur.
December 30 (Jharkhand): Engaging in the interstate cultural convergence and Kartik Jatra program in Gumla.
Presidential visits to a submarine are seldom witnessed, reinforcing the focus on naval submarine capabilities and maritime security. Karwar is home to a significant naval base where numerous warships and submarines are stationed.
President Murmu holds the distinction of being the first tribal woman to ascend to presidency of India. Her involvement in activities related to the Ol Chiki script and tribal culture during the Jharkhand tour holds notable significance.
This tour illustrates her dynamic role as President and her engagement with diverse sections of the country. Her participation spanning across navy, education, and culture sectors is truly inspiring.
