| 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 |
