| We were given hands-on training, like how to repairs things and how to deal with emergencies. |
As regards the selection process, out of the thirty women who had applied, six of them were shortlisted, based on the survival skills they showcased. The crew was mentored by Commander Dilip Donde. Then they got acquainted themselves with sail boat. They slowly got used to it through three years of training. Before the expedition, they started with some theoretical courses on navigation, communication and weather prediction. They were also given hands-on training as to how to repair things and deal with emergencies, when the weather got tough. In addition, Aishwarya said that they underwent their basic training courses in Mumbai at the Indian Naval Waterman ship Training Centre (INWTC), and at various schools in the southern naval base in Kochi. They even sailed on INSV Mhadei to Mauritius and back and also to Cape Town in December 2016. This trip was on how to manage food, water and even electricity during the big voyage.

| Prose | Empowered Women Navigating the World |
| Theme | Adventure is synonymous with woman |
Women of the past stayed indoors unless allowed to go out with an escort. But today things have changed in such a way that the real power of women is being projected to the world by the advancement of technology and media. Currently women's achievements are tremendous in many fields. One such achievement is the All-women Indian Navy crew who sailed around the world for 254 days, in a sailboat called INSV Tarini. As the sea does not discriminate between genders, the crew undertook this expedition to boost the morale in the country and for more women to take to adventures like sailing. The crew members worked as a team, with each one doing different tasks. Vartika Joshi, as the head of the crew, would discuss different ways of solving a problem and chose the best one. Payal Gupta added that teamwork is the most important in the middle of the crisis. This team effort helped in navigating through the 20 hours long storm. These factors motivated the crew to undergo this expedition.
| The boat was named after the famous 'Tara-Tarini' temple in Ganjam district in Odisha |

A woman is beauty innate,
A symbol of power and strength.
She puts her life at stake,
She's real, she's not fake!
The summer of life she's ready to see in spring.
She says, "Spring will come again, my dear.
Let me care for the ones who're near.”
She's The Woman – she has no fear!
Strong is she in her faith and beliefs.
"Persistence is the key to everything,"
says she. Despite the sighs and groans and moans,
She's strong in her faith, firm in her belief!
She's a lioness; don't mess with her.
She'll not spare you if you're a prankster.
Don't ever try to saw her pride, her self-respect.
She knows how to thaw you, saw you – so beware!
She's today's woman. Today's woman, dear.
Love her, respect her, keep her near...
