Smt Rasika Chaube, IDAS, Financial Advisor (Defence Services), during her visit to the Eastern Naval Command at Visakhapatnam today, interacted with Vice Adm Biswajit Dasgupta, Flag Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Eastern Naval Command, and was briefed on various operational activities and initiatives of ENC on 02 May 23.
The FA(DS) inaugurated state-of-the-art Submarine Damage Control and Fire Fighting Training Facility – ‘Rakshak’, in the presence of the FOC-in-C. In a major boost to IN’s emphasis on practical training, the indigenously designed facility simulates real-time scenarios for both fire and flooding emergencies, akin to an actual submarine.
Mrs. Chaube also chaired a SPARSH workshop conducted by officials of PCDA(Prayagraj), under the aegis of ENC, for all units under ENC, including the veterans. The workshop created awareness among retiring personnel and veterans concerning SPARSH which has been implemented as the Central Digital Pension Disbursement System for Defence Pensioners.
