DMET-MERI Lady Cadets Leading The Way
By
The shipping industry has traditionally been male dominated, with women being under-represented in various roles within this industry. However, in recent years, there has been a significant shift towards gender diversity in the shipping sector. Women are now increasingly being seen as an asset to the industry and are being encouraged to take up leadership roles. This shift in gender diversity can also be seen in the maritime training Institutes too. It is a matter of great pleasure for me as a lady cadet of DMET-MERI to say that our institute at present has 58 lady cadets training under it and it is one of the largest numbers in the whole nation. Every lady cadet who has come to this Institute to get trained for a seafaring career has set their own mark and is motivated by the senior lady cadets who later have become the finest seafarers with successful careers. It is also a matter of great delight and pride to see the contribution from the lady cadets of the Institute in the DMET Samvaad too. Currently the core team of DMET Samvaad has Ishika Sinha (9097) & Radhika Kumari (9164) - both from class of 2020-2024, leading the way for more lady cadets to join the Samvaad and be a part of it. Apart from that there are also 4 lady cadets in the remaining team of DMET Samvaad which is an extreme privilege for all the lady cadets of the Institute to join the Samvaad and work for it.

There are also scholarships provided by different shipping companies like Synergy to promote the upcoming lady cadets in Maritime Training Institutes. It is also a matter of happiness to see that there are several shipping companies that are actively working towards increasing their lady cadet’s intake and promoting women in the maritime industry. Some of these include Maersk, a global shipping company that has been actively working towards increasing gender diversity in the maritime industry. The company has set a target of having 50% female employees by 2025 and has also launched initiatives to promote gender equality in the workplace. Also, Chevron has been recognized for its efforts to promote gender diversity in the maritime industry. In 2020, the company was named as one of the best companies for women to work for, by the Women’s Choice Award. The company has also established partnerships with organizations that promote women in the maritime industry, such as the Women’s International Shipping and Trading Association (WISTA). All these initiatives by various companies in the shipping industry to remove the gender biasing is indeed a matter of relief and motivation for all aspiring women seafarers.

Before fully knowing about the Institute, I thought that there were only less chances for lady cadets in here but after getting to know about the DMET Samvaad and its importance, every one of our lady cadets took interest in it and took part in being a member of this esteemed platform. It is a matter of extreme privilege to host sessions related to women in seafaring and shipping with dignitaries like Sonali Banerjee ma’am (Class of 1995-1999, India’s first Lady Marine engineer) and Smt. Ruchi Tripathi (Class of 1998-2002, Marine Vetting Specialist, Chevron Marine Assurance).
We also had a discussion on the Women’s Day, on the need of women seafarers in the shipping industry and also the challenges overcome by women in the maritime sector. We were honored to have Smt.Sonali Banerjee ma’am and Smt.Saleha Saikh ma’am, who are the Head Coordinators for women’s wing in the Maritime Union of India. The session was a very insightful one and there’s nothing more we as lady cadets are proud of than having the whole session being conducted by the lady cadets who are members of the DMET Samvaad.
DMET Samvaad has opened the doors for us especially from the perspective as a lady cadet, to new horizons and opportunities for us to interconnect with such great dignified women in shipping and to improve our caliber in this area on an equal footing with the male cadets of the Institute. Henceforth the DMET Samvaad has provided the lady cadets of the Institute with ample opportunities to shine on this maritime platform. With their exceptional skills and talent, I am sure that more lady cadets will come up front to join the DMET Samvaad and bring laurels to the Institute as well as to all the lady cadets out there. ▄
