Ahead of the Indian Navy's annual Indo-Pacific Regional Dialogue, Vice Chief of the Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Sanjay Vatsayan speaks to The Sunday Guardian on fostering a stable and prosperous Indo-Pacific.
Vice Admiral Sanjay Vatsayan, AVSM, NM.
Vice Admiral Sanjay Vatsayan, AVSM, NM, who assumed charge as the 47th Vice Chief of the Naval Staff (VCNS), the second highest post of the Indian Navy, in August this year, spoke to The Sunday Guardian exclusively on the constructive role that the Indian Navy is playing in the Indo-Pacific, especially in terms of enabling partner navies to perform their maritime responsibilities successfully.
The VCNS' interview comes ahead of the Indian Navy's Indo-Pacific Regional Dialogue (IPRD) 2025 being held on 28-30 October in New Delhi. Started in 2018, IPRD is a part of Indian Navy's international outreach framework, and sees participation from nations across the Indo-Pacific to discuss this geopolitically crucial region. Prior to taking over as the VCNS, Vice Admiral Vatsayan served as Deputy Chief of the Integrated Defence Staff (DCIDS)-Operations, and thereafter as DCIDS (Policy, Plans and Force Development) at HQ IDS.
Q: Sir, the 2025 edition of the Indo-Pacific Regional Dialogue (IPRD) is said to be addressing the "capacity building and resource sharing" pillar of the Indo-Pacific Oceans Initiative (IPOI) launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2019. What does the phrase "capacity building meets capability enhancement" mean in the context of IPRD 2025?
A: The phrase "capacity building meets capability enhancement" in the context of IPRD 2025 reflects the Indian Navy's comprehensive approach under the Prime Minister's MAHASAGAR vision to empower regional partners through both material and operational means.

EXTERMINATE MOSQUITOES TO ERADICATE EIGHT DEADLY DISEASES
Till now, Iceland, with a harsh, unique climate and geographical isolation, was the only country in the world that was completely free of mosquitoes. Three mosquitoes were found in the Kjos valley in October 2025. Scientists blamed rising temperatures due to climate change and increased travel for these arrivals. Mosquitoes are vectors for deadly diseases like malaria, dengue, chikungunya, Japanese encephalitis, Zika, yellow fever, West Nile virus fever, and filariasis. In 2023, there were an estimated 263 million malaria cases and 597,000 deaths globally. World Malaria Day on 25 April and National Dengue Day on May 16th in India highlight the need for public education, continued investment, and sustained political commitment for prevention and control measures, especially before the monsoon season. ‘Chikungunya' means \"to become contorted,\" (due to severe joint pains) in the Kimakonde language in Tanzania and Mozambique.

WELFARE DELIVERY, MODI FACTOR PROPELLING NDA IN BIHAR POLLS
The Bihar elections opened with opposition parties confident that Nitish Kumar's long incumbency and public fatigue courtesy his 20 years of rule would translate into a difficult contest for the NDA. In the early phase of campaigning, this seemed plausible. The same feeling was also shared by top National Democratic Alliance leaders while interacting with journalists privately, including by two senior BJP Union Ministers, who spoke to this correspondent before and after the poll schedule was announced.
