The award was given for developing an innovative solution for tidal measurement during hydrographic surveys by use of land based terrain mapping equipment and floating buoys mounted with prisms.

The award was accepted by Captain Rajesh Bargoti, the commanding officer of INS Sarvekshak.

These systems allow the ship to meet the stringent international/ISO 9002 digital survey accuracy standards required for the production of electronic navigation charts and publications as laid down by the International Hydrographic Organization.

The primary task of INS Sarvekshak includes hydrographic surveys, nautical chart preparation, cartography and training.

[11] On 26 December 2024, INS Sarvekshak reached Port Louis, Mauritius for Joint Hydrographic Survey.

Captain Rajesh Bargoti, the commanding officer of the ship, said, "It took about six months to put the entire system in place.

Indian Navy claimed that the 300-Watt panels will generate about 5.4 kW solar power system, and avoid around 165 kg of carbon a day, "So in its 25 years life the total carbon saved is around 15 lakhs kg and 5.75 lakh litres of diesel by this innovation" [14][15] Noting that the world is looking for clean, renewable sources of energy in order to protect and reduce the harm caused to the environment, the Navy said the deterioration of the environment is highly correlated to the production and usage of fossil-based fuels worldwide.

The Navy said it has created a new mechanism to encourage the utilization and development of renewable energy resources.
