or uniformed members of the 'Navy' concerned. Consequent upon
English, French and Arabic having been adopted as the three
official languages of the IONS Initiative, the essays may be

awarded to each language-specific group of entries.

the IONS Open Essay Competition is the Chief of the Naval Staff of
the Republic of India. The title of the 2008 edition of the Essay
Competition is "Sustaining the IONS Initiative : Practical
