already in an advanced stage of development
in India and related Indian talent, can play
an important role for the development of
advanced indigenous technology and must be
encouraged. Blue sky research must also be
undertaken as a long term goal.

12. Maritime industry has very high global
manifestation in all aspects of its operations,
and there is an urgent and compelling need
to augment pool of high quality seafarers
in right quantities at the right time. In order

sets of seafarers through high levels of
standardization of Maritime Training Institutes
