==Significance==
[[File:Nsp_route.png|thumb|The Navika Sagar Parikrama route]]
The significance of Navika Sagar Parikrama voyage is in with consonance with National [[policy]] to [[women empowerment]] to attain their full potential, showcase [[India]]’s Nari Shakti on world platform and help revolutionise attitudes and mindset towards women by raising the visibility of their participation in challenging environment. The voyage also aims to showcase the [[Make in India]] [[initiative]] of the government by sailing on board an Indian built INSV Tarini. It also encourage use of [[environment friendly]] non conventional [[renewable energy]]; as the ship harnesses wind. The crew will also monitor and report [[marine pollution]] levels.<ref>{{Cite web|title=All-women crew of Navika Sagar Parikrama expedition reaches Fremantle|url=https://currentaffairs.gktoday.in/tags/navika-sagar-parikrama}}</ref> Apart from that the crew is also expected to interact with local people of Indian origin as well as collate and update [[Meteorological]]/Ocean Wave [[data]] on daily basis for analysis by research and development organisations and [[India Meteorological Department]] for a better forecast the [[weather]]. The voyage was important for the women as their men officers did not believe that their team would complete the voyage. The real inspiration behind the voyage was of [[Vice Admiral]] [[Manohar Prahlad Awati|Awati]] ([[Param Vishisht Seva Medal]], [[Vir Chakra]]) who wanted to witness a circumnavigation of the globe by an all-woman team on an Indian-built [[sailboat]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Navika Sagar Parikrama - Circumnavigating The Globe on an Indian-Built Sail Boat INSV Tarini by Women Naval Officers|url=http://www.solarquarter.com/index.php/world/104-asia-australia/india-2/4669-navika-sagar-parikrama-circumnavigating-the-globe-on-an-indian-built-sail-boat-insv-tarini-by-women-naval-officers}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Sheand thesea|url=https://www.thehindu.com/life-and-style/lt-cdr-p-swathi-one-of-the-six-members-of-the-all-woman-team-to-circumnavigate-the-globe-looks-back-on-her-voyage-aboard-insv-tarini/article31082919.ece}}</ref>

==Training==

The crew was selected in 2014 from 40 applicants out of 500 women naval officers in service. Many [[candidates]] however dropped out after their families denied them permission out of fear. Chosen from different [[cadre (military)|cadre]]s in service, the women were trained to be [[electrician]], [[plumber]], [[engineer]], [[doctor (title)|doctor]], [[chef]], [[navigator]]s and just about everything.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Sheand thesea|url=https://www.thehindu.com/life-and-style/lt-cdr-p-swathi-one-of-the-six-members-of-the-all-woman-team-to-circumnavigate-the-globe-looks-back-on-her-voyage-aboard-insv-tarini/article31082919.ece}}</ref> Prior to the circumnavigation, the crew trained for nearly three years which included theoretical training at various Indian Naval schools in [[Mumbai]] and [[Kerala]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=As INS Tarini with all-woman crew returns to India, vessel will be flagged-in by Defence Minister Sitharaman|url=http://www.timesnownews.com/india/article/as-ins-tarini-with-all-women-crew-returns-to-india-ship-will-be-flagged-in-by-defence-minister-sitharaman/229336}}</ref> Followed by hands on training on [[INSV Mhadei]] and INSV Tarini. The crew trained under India's first solo circumnavigator Captain [[Dilip Donde]] till 2016. Thereafter, from Jul 16 onwards the training was conducted at the Ocean Sailing Node, Goa under the tutelage of Capt Atool Sinha. The training under him was conducted in a phased and a systematic manner wherein the team undertook various sailings from Goa to [[Porbandar]], [[Mumbai]], [[Karwar]], [[Mauritius]] in 2016 and 2017, and a 43-day voyage from Goa to Cape Town in 2016.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Navy vessel with all-women crew arrives in Kochi|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-news-india/indian-navy-women-crew-kochi/}}</ref> Two of the Navika Sagar Parikrama team also participated in the Cape to Rio Race 2017, as part of the training, onboard INSV Mhadei skippered by [[Captain]] Atool Sinha, from Cape Town who led a mixed crew of men and women into the race.<ref>{{Cite web|title=All-Women Navy Crew Ready For Cape To Rio Yacht Race|url=https://www.shethepeople.tv/news/all-women-navy-crew-ready-for-cape-to-rio-yacht-race/}}</ref> Team Tarini sailed for 22,000 [[nautical miles]] on board [[INSV Mhadei]] and INSV Tarini as part of their training.<ref>{{Cite web|title=INSV Tarini: All-women Navy crew reach Goa after circumnavigating globe|url=http://ddinews.gov.in/national/all-woman-vessel-ins-tarini-be-flagged-defence-minister}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Around the world - 'Navika Sagar Parikrama' – a historic Indian Navy's all-women expedition|url=http://www.sbs.com.au/yourlanguage/hindi/en/audiotrack/around-world-navika-sagar-parikrama-historic-indian-navys-all-women-expedition}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=INSV Mhadei Flagged Off with an all-women crew|url=https://www.fresherspages.com/insv-mhadei-flagged-off-with-an-all-women-crew/}}</ref>
