IMU was represented by its Mumbai Port and Navi Mumbai Campuses at the Samridh Gujarat 2025 Expo, held at Sardar Patel Seva Samaj in Ahmedabad, and was honoured with the prestigious “Best Stall” Award for outstanding presentation and public engagement. The IMU pavilion showcased maritime career opportunities and academic programs through interactive digital content, simulator visuals, and direct one-on-one engagement between faculty members and hundreds of students, educators, and maritime professionals. Special emphasis was placed on the Sagarmala initiative, port-led development, and India’s growing maritime sector. Congratulations to Mr. Anil Kumar Mishra and Mr. T.M. Devendrappa, Assistant Librarians, for their professional representation of IMU and for inspiring the next generation of seafarers through their dedicated outreach.
