NWWA - Chennai

It has been my fortune and privilege to be NWWA President for Chennai region. The Numerous

activities organized by NWWA during Milan, celebrating festivals, welcoming guests etc has

been exemplary. I would like to mention that dedication of ladies towards NWWA has been

enormous at all time, which has immensely delighted and motivated me for instituting

necessary changes for the betterment of Naval Community.

New NWWA logo, introduced by Mrs Reena Lanba, President NWWA epitomizes the

contribution of NWWA for numerous welfare activities with a motto of “Reaching Out”.

The logo exemplifies the Strength of Unity among the ladies which nurtures harmonious

co-existence of Naval ladies in all facets of Naval Community. Over the period, NWWA has

evolved its modus operandi to be in sync with the latest technology and keep pace with

the changing work culture. NWWA has introduced new vocational training with external

organizations to give opportunity for learning and carrying forward the legacy of NWWA in

contributing towards the betterment of women in the Naval Community.

Change is the only variable that brings us to our most effervescent state of beings. We try

to abide by the same.

I would like to thank the Naval Community here at Chennai for their contribution to NWWA

and welcome the new ladies.
