Designed to foster the spirit of camaraderie among the Services,<br />
the insignia is composed of symbols that represent the<br />
Army, the Navy and the Air Force.<br />
The cross swords stand for the Army’s martial valour,<br />
the anchor denotes the stability of the Navy<br />
and the Himalayan eagle symbolises the Air Force’s aspiration<br />
to touch the skies with glory.<br />
The four Asiatic lions standing back to back, adopted from the national emblem<br />
and mounted on the Himalayan eagle,<br />
depicts pride in serving the motherland<br />
while the scroll at the base<br />
endorses the ideal of Seva Paramo Dharma or Service before Self.<br />
First chosen in 1948, the design of the insignia<br />
evolved between 1949 and 1956.
