Meanwhile Admiral Chawla would be calling on the senior leadership in Sri Lanka and visiting Colombo, Trincomalee and Galle. During the visit interaction with key Area Headquarters is planned in addition to a visit to the Naval and Maritime Academy at Trincomalee.

The First Training Squadron which comprises six ships including two sail ships is a part of Indian Navy’s prestigious Southern Naval Command (SNC).

As one of the finest destinations for training, Indian Navy has trained more than 11,000 international trainees from over 40 countries in the last four decades.

Training has been one of the strongest and most enduring pillars of India – Sri Lanka bilateral defense cooperation and the current visit will provide further impetus to the same. In line with the vision of both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and H.E. President Gotabaya Rajapaksa to increase people to people connect between both countries, this visit will positively contribute towards strengthening the existing bonds of camaraderie and friendship between defense personnel of the two countries.

Vice Adm. Anil Kumar Chawla

Vice Admiral Anil Kumar Chawla, took over the reins of the Southern Naval Command (SNC) as its 28th Flag Officer Commanding- in-Chief on July 31, 2018. The Admiral replaced Vice Admiral A.R.

An alumnus of the National Defense Academy, Vice Admiral Anil Kumar Chawla was commissioned in the Indian Navy on January 1, 1982. A Navigation and Direction specialist, Vice Admiral Anil Kumar Chawla commanded Coast Guard Ship C-01, the Vinash a missile boat, the missile corvette Kora, Stealth frigate Tabar and the aircraft carrier Viraat. His ashore and staff appointments include stints at the prestigious National Defense Academy, Centre for Leadership and Behavioural Studies Naval Attaché Jakarta, Senior Instructor (Navy) and HOTT (Navy) at the Defense Services Staff College and Naval Assistant to Chief of Naval Staff.

As a Flag Officer, Vice Admiral A.K.
