Maritime, which is the lifeline for the growth and development of any country, plays a crucial part in ensuring that the conduits of growth remain seamless. India must seize this opportunity and embrace it with top seafaring skills, excellent maritime infrastructure, and a buzzing maritime trade. With an efficient maritime sector, India is poised to make steady progress in optimally exploring the vast opportunities in the regional as well as global maritime sector. Our training for the youth of our country in the maritime sector must be top-class. It is important that we rev up our talent pool & nurture our maritime talent to optimally secure opportunities to make India grow and prosper.”
