Ports, Shipping and Waterways Minister Sarbananda Sonowal today reviewed the progress of Indian Maritime University (IMU) and its contribution to India’s maritime education, research and skilling ecosystem.
In a social media post, Mr Sonowal said that it is encouraging to see IMU’s growing global stature, driven by increasing international academic partnerships and engagements with strategic forums like the International Association of Maritime Universities (IAMU) and the University of the Arctic.
He noted that as India navigates towards realising the Maritime Amrit Kaal Vision 2047, intensifying its focus on industry-oriented training and advanced maritime skilling is crucial.
The Minister also emphasised that a highly skilled workforce will be the anchor for cementing India’s leadership in global shipbuilding and the wider maritime sector.
