He was accompanied by stalwarts from the shipping industry, Capt. Vinod Suryavanshi, CTO and Head of Cadet Selection, Fleet Management, Capt. Shrirang Gokhale, head of CMMI Pune Chapter and Capt. Gajanan Karanjikar, Director Cordelia of Marine Services.

The insightful thoughts and advice of these experts managed to unveil various aspects of mental health that were hitherto unknown to cadets before. Their initial interaction with the cadets enabled them to gain a deeper understanding about the importance of mental health not just on-board ship but even in their day-to-day life. The conference on Mental Health has shed light on the critical importance of prioritizing psychological well-being within this demanding industry. Through insightful discussions and innovative strategies shared by experts, it is evident that proactive measures must be implemented to support seafarers' mental health, including strong support systems, accessible resources, and enlighten efforts.
The program was concluded with vote of thanks to the attendees.
