Capt. Sudharsan S, in his address as Guest of Honor, commended HIMT’s holistic training model, noting the remarkable transformation in cadets’ confidence and body language from their initial days to their passing out — a clear reflection of the institute’s mentorship, discipline, and structured training. He also acknowledged HIMT’s efforts toward gender inclusivity, proudly recognizing the presence of female cadets, in line with the Maritime India Vision 2030, reinforcing HIMT’s position as a progressive leader in maritime education.
