Towards this, the Navy Foundation Delhi Chapter conduct an annual lecture by eminent speakers in memory of late Admiral R.D. Katari.
Admiral R.D. Katari, the first Indian to be Chief of the Naval Staff (April 22, 1958 to June 4, 1962), is widely admired and much loved for the challenge he undertook at the young age of 47 years to integrate the best practices of Royal Navy and lay the foundation of modern Indian Navy. He is also remembered for his pioneering work and strategic vision in providing the fledgling Indian Navy a firm push towards self-reliance and indigenisation, and in formulating the blueprint for the strong force the Indian Navy has become today. Admiral R.D. Katari settled in Secunderabad after his retirement and served as the Chairman of Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation from December 1962 to May 1964. Thereafter, he was appointed as India’s Ambassador to Burma for five years.
