After
over a couple of months of hectic preparation, finally we
saw the entrance test for the navigation cadets for SIMS,
Lonavala getting over on the 30th of May. The final merit list
of 80 has been posted in the SIMS website with a waiting
list of successful candidates who would unfortunately have
to wait for their turn for vacancy. It
is indeed heartening to see the growing popularity of the
cadets’ courses in SIMS and intense competition to
get into this world-class facility by applicants in thousands. As
we are proud to bring such top notch maritime training to
India, we salute our dedicated team from the ESM, Crew Department
who with the help from the SIMS have relentlessly pursued the
path of making merchant navy a chosen career path for the
bright young people of the country. Our teams visited endless
number of schools- targeting the Central schools and government
schools that mostly remain at the periphery of such specialized
training facilities in India. They moved out of the usual
route of the metropolitan cities and entered the smaller
towns and villages to address end number of students, teachers,
and parents most of whom had never heard about merchant navy
in their life! Such
an overwhelming response from these smaller cities and towns
is indeed the fruit of this relentless dedication of our
teams from ESM and SIMS. Congratulations and a big laud of applause for your hard work and great achievement!
