MARITIME SECURITY- CAPSI INITIATIVE:

Met Sh Sarbananda Sonowal Hon’ble Union Cabinet Minister for Shipping,Ports & Waterways at his office and presented a proposal for Maritime Security. He appreciated our proposal and promised to have it examined.

India being a coastal nation and heavily dependent on maritime trade, the importance of maritime security has been increasing significantly. The government has emphasized strengthening measures to protect its coastal areas and shipping lanes, making it an opportune time to establish training centers.
There is a growing demand for well-trained and skilled personnel in maritime security due to the evolving threats and challenges faced in the maritime domain. Training centers can bridge this gap by offering comprehensive courses on maritime security, including counter-piracy operations and vessel protection.

Thanks
