All-Women Crew Completes Maiden Voyage on Indian Navy Sailing Vessel Mhadei

All-Women Crew Completes Maiden Voyage on Indian Navy Sailing Vessel Mhadei

The Navy’s famous sailing vessel “Mhadei” set sail from Visakhapatnam for her home port, Goa, after participating in the International Fleet Review. Unique to this seemingly normal voyage was that she was skippered and crewed by an all-women crew of Naval officers for the very first time. Lieutenant Commander Vartika Joshi, a Naval Architect, was appointed as the first woman Skipper of Mhadei on 08 Feb 16 just prior to the return voyage. Mhadei is crewed by Lieutenant P Swathi, Lieutenant Pratibha Jamwal (Air Traffic Control specialists), Lieutenant Vijaya Devi and Sub Lieutenant Payal Gupta (both Education officers). The sixth member of the crew, Lieutenant B Aishwarya is a naval architect and is expected to join the boat shortly.

These women officers are training to form an all-women crew that would attempt to circumnavigate the Globe in 2017. To prepare themselves for the arduous voyage, they have undergone theoretical training in Navigation, Communication, Seamanship and Meteorology at the Navy’s various Training Establishments based at Kochi in August last year. Since then, the officers have been training under the guidance and watchful eyes of Cdr Dilip Donde. Cdr Donde was the first Indian to solo-circumnavigate the globe in 2009-10 on board the same boat, Mhadei. The rigorous training included sorties of various durations with Cdr Donde as well as working on the boat and training on the equipment fitted on board. The officers sailed for the Fleet Review along with Cdr Donde and post the IFR, the Navy decided to appoint Lt Cdr Vartika Joshi as the Skipper for the return journey.

Mhadei visited the Ports of Chennai (12-19 Feb) and Kochi (27 Feb-02 Mar) on her return journey. She returned to her homeport Goa today which coincidentally happens to be International Women’s Day. Future training plans include an independent voyage to Mauritius in May 2016. The officers would shift to a new boat of the same class as Mhadei that has been ordered by the Navy on M/s Aquarius Shipyard, Goa slated for delivery in Feb 2017. Mhadei and her yet to named sister are both completely made in India.

During the maiden voyage by these gritty and adventurous women officers of the Navy, Mhadei and her crew encountered moderately rough weather and heavy seas in the Gulf of Mannar. The present Skipper, Lt Cdr Vartika Joshi, was part of the crew on board Mhadei for the return leg of the Cape to Rio race in 2013-14. Lt Swathi was also part of the crew for the return leg of the boat from Cape to Goa. This is the first all women crew ocean-going sailing boat of the Navy. All the crew members are volunteers and are driven by their passion for adventure and a love for sailing and the seas.

Shortage of Officers in the Army

In Army (excluding Army Medical Corps, Army Dental Corps and Military Nursing Service), as on 01.07.2015, against the authorized strength of 49631 officers, held strength of officers is 40525 with a shortage of 9106.

Shortage of officers is inter alia attributable to accretions of posts from time to time, tough selection procedures, difficult service conditions coupled with perceived high degree of risk involved in the service career as also inherent limitation of number that could be trained without compromising the quality of training.

A number of measures have been taken from time to time to reduce the shortage of officers in the Army including by making Short Service Commission more attractive, introduction of Colonel (Time Scale) rank, enhancing promotional avenues by way of upgradation of posts in Select Ranks, additional family accommodation through Married Accommodation Project.

Army has undertaken sustained image projection campaign to create awareness among the youth on the advantages of taking up a challenging and satisfying career. Awareness campaigns, participation in career fairs and exhibitions, advertisements in print and electronic media, motivational lectures in schools, colleges are some of the measures in this direction.

All the above mentioned measures have resulted in progressive improvement with shortage of officers reducing from around 26% in 2010 to approximately 18% in 2015, inspite of accretion of about 1800 posts during this period.

Ship Building Capacity of Indian Navy

The current ship building capability of defence shipyards meets the requirements of the Indian Navy. Presently, all major warships and submarines under construction are being built at the Indian Shipyards, these include both DPSUs as well as Private Shipyards.

Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited (MDL) and Garden Reach Shipbuilders Engineers (GRSE) are engaged in building complex weapon intensive vessels like destroyers, stealth frigates, corvettes etc. Goa Shipyard Ltd. (GSL) and Hindustan Shipyard Ltd. (HSL) have capability to build various categories of vessels like Patrol Vessels, Tankers, Landing Platform Docks, Survey Vessels, Tugs, Barges etc. MDL is also constructing submarines for Indian Navy.

A comprehensive assessment of the modernization needs of the Defence Shipyards have been made based on the requirement of the ongoing and future Projects. The modernization programme is intended to increase productivity and reduce build periods through upgradation of existing infrastructure, enhancement of capacity and incorporation of ‘state of the art’ ship building technology. Accordingly, the DPSU Shipyards i.e. Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Ltd. (MDL), Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers Ltd. (GRSE), Goa Shipyard Ltd. (GSL) and Hindustan Shipyard Ltd. (HSL) have embarked on a comprehensive modernization programme. Details are as under:

MDL:

MDL has undertaken the ‘Mazdock Modernisation Programme’ at a cost of Rs.966.88 Crore (out of which Rs.846.20 Crore was provided by Government of India and the balance Rs.120.68 Crore was from MDL’s internal accruals). In the last two years Government of India has provided Rs.157.32 Crore to MDL for modernization activities. The modernization included creation of Module Workshop, 300 Ton Goliath Crane, New Wet Basin and Cradle Assembly Shop. MDL, with the completion of the modernization programme is aiming for a paradigm shift in Warship construction i.e. construction from unit assembly to block assembly enabling ‘Integrated Modular Construction’. This would substantially reduce the construction / building periods.

Post modernization, the capacity of outfitting has increased from hitherto 3 Warships to 5 Warships and from 3 submarines to 6 submarines. The submarine building capacity is being further enhanced by constructing additional submarine related infrastructure.

GRSE:

The modernization Plan which was focused on enabling modular construction has been completed at a financial outlay of Rs.605.85 Crore (out of which Rs.331.27 Crore was provided by Government of India and the balance Rs.274.58 Crore was from GRSE’s internal accruals, nil funds allotted in the last two years). GRSE is now capable of constructing concurrently multiple large modern ships. GRSE modernization plan included creation of the following facilities:-

· Modern hull shop, upgradation of TRIBON ship design software, augmenting capacity of inclined berth, shipbuilding shop etc.

· Dry Dock of 10,000 Ton capacity, inclined berth OF 4500 Ton capacity, Pier Quay and associated works & systems.

· Goliath Crane of 250 Ton capacity.

· Module Hall, Paint Cell & Equipment.

GSL:

GSL has undertaken a planned modernization programme and is in the process of creating infrastructure for indigenous construction of MCMVs (Mine Counter Measure Vessels) for Indian Navy. Infrastructure modernization plan is being implemented in four phases of which Phase-1 & 2 has been completed in March 2011. Work for balance phases are in progress. On completion of modernization plan, GSL will have the capacity to build high technology glass-fibre reinforced plastic (GRP) hull Mine Counter Measure Vessels (MCMVs) indigenously with the help of foreign technology provider.

In addition, this will also substantially enhance the rate of production and shipbuilding capacity of the yard. Government of India has sanctioned Rs.480 Crore for modernization of GSL (out of which Rs.100 Crore has been provided by Government of India in the last two years).

Post modernization:-

· GSL will overcome the constraints in terms of launch weight restriction by installation of 6000 Ton shiplift & transfer system with associated civil structures (i.e. improvement from the existing 1500 Ton to 6000 Ton capacity).

· There will be addition of construction berths for Offshore Patrol Vessels (from 1 to 3 for OPV size ships).

· Augmentation of Jetty Berthing Space (from 4 wet berths to 10 wet berths).

· Augmented material handling & crane capacity (addition of new workshop cranes from 5 Ton to 80 Ton capacity).

· New Level Luffing outdoor cranes upto 60 Ton Lifting capacity, two new block transporters of 100 Ton capacity.

· Increased repair capability with two berths for repairs of ships upto 6000 Ton and rationalization of layout and material flow for efficient modular construction methodology.

HSL:

Currently the Repair and Refurbishment of Machinery & Infrastructure (RRMI) to modernize and upgrade the shipyard is under progress. The RRMI activities are being carried out progressively to meet the requirement for construction of future platforms. Government of India in 2011 sanctioned and provided Rs.457.36 Crore to HSL for RRMI activities (nil funds allotted in the last two years).

Reviewing Pay and Allowances of Armed Forces Personnel

The Government entrusted the task to a Pay Commission in 1973, at the time of setting up of 3rd Central Pay Commission. The Government had set up a Post War Pay Committee in 1947, a departmental pay committee (Raghuramiah Committee) during 1959-60 and another Departmental Committee in 1967 for review of pay and allowances of Defence Forces Personnel. There was general discontentment amongst the Services with respect to the recommendations of these Committees. Thereafter, the Government decided to entrust the examination of structure of emoluments, including benefits in cash and kind and death cum retirement benefits of the Armed Forces to the 3rd Central Pay Commission.

The terms of reference with respect to the Armed Forces personnel were different to the extent that the 3rd Central Pay Commission was not required to make recommendations on the conditions of service of the Armed Forces personnel. Though, the matters related to pension of Defence Service personnel was referred to 3rd Pay Commission, there has been no clubbing with civilians. The Commission felt that by and large, the principles followed by Armed Forces Pension Revision Committee (AFPRC) continue to be valid. The 3rd Pay Commission had considered the peculiar conditions of service and hierarchical set up of the Services, age of retirement, period of qualifying service pension etc. in respect of Armed Forces personnel. As such there has been no mistake in entrusting the matter to 3rd Central Pay Commission.
