This Motor Car Rally, aimed at enhancing maritime awareness and engaging with youth and civil society, will travel from Kolkata to Chennai, continue to Kanyakumari, and return to Chennai on March 21, 2025.

The rally will feature visits to various schools and colleges, inspiring young men and women to join the Navy. It will also promote the Government of India's women empowerment initiative – Naari Shakti. The rally team will also engage with Naval Veterans and Veer Naaris by updating them on the latest policy initiatives by the Government of India and the Indian Navy for their welfare.

A total of 56 Indian Naval personnel, including Officers, Sailors, and family members, are participating in this expedition, covering an approximate distance of 3,800 km. The rally will traverse through the coastal states of West Bengal, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, engaging with local communities en route.

The event, supported by Hyundai Ltd, will also explore India's rich maritime heritage, visiting historical naval sites and key locations along the ancient maritime trade routes.
