1. We all thought ‘sea experience is gained by only a fortunate few since the Indian Navy operates beyond the visual horizon of youth of the country’. Not anymore! The Indian Navy has launched an android based mobile gaming app titled ‘Command your Seas’ which is available for free download on Google Playstore.
2. The Naval mobile game is based on elements of warfare at sea. The game has been developed for students, gaming enthusiasts and for those aspiring to join the Navy. It has many missions - action against pirates, interception of aircrafts, battle between fleets etc. in three difficulty levels. It also has an inbuilt quiz. The aim of the quiz is to make the young players aware of the roles of the Navy. It is expected that the participants after playing the game for some duration would become much more aware about life (especially combat) at sea, and the Navy- its elements, origin and geographical spread. The exposure would cause a maritime consciousness among the youth (especially those from non-coastal regions who have no such exposure) and also an appreciation in young minds for the Indian Navy, its scope, role and relevance in national security.
3. I request you to encourage students/ staff in your institution to download the game and enjoy the experience. For those who aspire to join the Navy, this gaming app is an excellent orientation and preparation tool. Kindly forward valuable suggestions from students in regard to improvements in the game on the same email id.
