AEMA<br />
DNS-15 Passing-out Parade<br />
PEople<br />
Anglo-Eastern Maritime Academy (AEMA) held a<br />
passing-out parade for its DNS-15 cadets on January 6.<br />
The occasion was graced by the presence of guests of<br />
honour Capt. Ranjit Muduli, Deputy Nautical Advisor for<br />
the Directorate General of Shipping and Principal Officer<br />
of the Port of Kandla; and Karjat Station House Officer<br />
Sujata Tarkade, head of the local police.<br />
80 DNS cadets<br />
graduated in the<br />
January 6 ceremony<br />
After a warm welcome by AEMA Principal<br />
Capt. Sureen Narang and various<br />
members of faculty, the guests were<br />
shown around the Academic Block, where<br />
the cadets were on hand to explain the<br />
various rooms, labs and facilities in the<br />
presence of their mentoring captains.<br />
After the brief tour, the guests were led<br />
to the auditorium for the start of the<br />
ceremony.<br />
The proceedings commenced with an<br />
introductory speech by Capt. Rengarajan<br />
Gopalakrishnan and an informative<br />
opening address by Vice-Principal Mahesh<br />
Subramanian. This was followed by a small<br />
cultural programme performed by the<br />
cadets, which included a skit and a solo<br />
contemporary dance.<br />
After the cultural programme, Capt. Sarat<br />
Kumar (HoD, Nautical Science) presented<br />
an in-depth course report. Capt. Pradeep<br />
Chawla, MD of QHSE and Training,<br />
then took to the podium to share his<br />
experience, insights and learnings, before<br />
the guests of honour were invited to say a<br />
few words. First up was Capt. Muduli, who<br />
gave an informative speech that further<br />
encouraged and motivated the passingout<br />
cadets, followed by Ms Tarkade, who<br />
spoke about cybercrime.<br />
As per AEMA tradition, the latest edition<br />
of the in-house newsletter Seaward Bound<br />
was officially unveiled by the guests<br />
of honour, after which was the much<br />
anticipated passing-out award ceremony<br />
for the cadets. Anshul Galav was proudly<br />
named top in class (see his Q&A profile on<br />
page 21), which saw his name added to<br />
the Honour Board.<br />
Well done and congratulations to all 80<br />
well-deserving cadets, plus the conclusion<br />
of yet another successful semester!<br />
