Centre for Maritime Studies
About Department
The UGC Centre for Maritime Studies (CMS) was established during the academic year 2014-15 by the University Grants Commission under its Area Studies Programme. The CMS would examine the relevant policies and mechanisms aimed at fulfilling the new maritime objectives of India. The CMS intends to introduce Ph.D.Programme and Soft Core courses in Maritime Studies.
Faculty & Research Personnel: The UGC sanctioned one Assistant Professor and two Research Personnel (RA/ PA/PF ) for the period i.e. 2014-1019 to the Centre and will be recruited soon.
Objectives:
The Centre would promote research, teaching and other academic programmes on the following areas of concern to Indian national interests. Considering India’s strategic location across the east-west SCLOCS of the IOR, the Centre would promote studies on India’s role in ensuring the safety of SLOCs, trade, energy security and cooperative linkages with other coastal states to combat the maritime threats and maintain a peaceful and stable order in the IOR.
