INS Vikrant is an exceptional symbol of self-reliant and aspirational India, said Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday at the commissioning ceremony of India's first indigenously-built aircraft carrier at the Cochin Shipyard in Kerala's Kochi.

INS Vikrant was commissioned into the Indian Navy today by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and senior defence officers were present at the ceremony.

"The commissioning of INS Vikrant is a confirmation that our endeavour for 'self-reliant India' is not an isolated policy. This is an important part of the huge transformative change taking place in India under the leadership of Prime Minister," the Defence Minister said.

To achieve its targets, the government has made path-breaking changes in sectors like health, education, trade, transport and communication, he said.
