On this proud occasion, HIMALYAN Educational & Training Society (HEATS) extends heartfelt gratitude to the brave men and women of the Indian Navy for their selfless service and exemplary dedication.
📘 Why Indian Navy Day is Celebrated
Indian Navy Day commemorates the success of Operation Trident during the 1971 Indo-Pak War. On the night of 4 December 1971, the Indian Navy launched a surprise attack on the Karachi harbor:

Enemy warships and fuel reserves were destroyed
-
A major blow was dealt to Pakistan’s Navy

The mission was executed with precision — zero casualties
This historic victory displayed India’s maritime dominance and strategic brilliance. Since then, 4 December stands as a symbol of naval excellence and national pride.
