It shifted to Visakhapatnam for the eleventh edition held in 2022.
Vizag will also be the venue for MILAN 24 to be conducted under the Eastern Naval Command.
The theme of the previous edition ‘Camaraderie–Cohesion–Collaboration’ has also been adopted for this one, thus making it an overarching vision of the MILAN.
