something new. Much later, I joined the committee as the Treasurer. I learned not only how to maintain
NWWA accounts, but also many things about the Navy, its structure and ethos.
Over the years, with subsequent transfers, I was coordinator for Welfare, Playschools, Widows,
Health, Entertainment, and Communication. I also learnt how to organize events from coffee mornings
to picnics and AGMs to Husbands Nite. My direct involvement in the organization helped to dispel
earlier misconceptions, and I came to respect NWWA and all that it stood for. The wealth of experience,
and the confidence I gained there helped me to take on the responsibilities of CGWWA, as President
Tatrakshika.
What do you like best about CGWWA and the Indian Coast Guard?
Being at the helm of affairs, both my husband and I have had the enviable opportunity to travel
across the country and visit all the Coast Guard stations dotted across India’s coastline. The diversity
of our nation, in terms of landscape, climates, vegetation, people, languages, culture and so much
more, has awakened in me a deep respect, understanding and love for this great country and its
people. I feel very proud to be INDIAN.
