Context
The Kerala Maritime Board has issued a call for expressions of interest to develop a cutting-edge maritime education hub in Neendakara, Kollam, through a public-private partnership.

- In addition to academic offerings, the hub will focus on providing placement and career development opportunities, ensuring that graduates are well-equipped to meet the industry's needs.

The state’s vibrant maritime ecosystem will facilitate partnerships between industry and academia, promoting internships, research, knowledge exchange, and skill development programs.
- Alignment with National Vision: The establishment of the maritime education hub is part of the Shipping Ministry’s Amrit Kaal Vision 2047, which outlines 39 initiatives aimed at creating a robust innovation ecosystem within the maritime sector.
- This vision focuses on elevating education, research, and training to meet global standards, reinforcing India's position in the international maritime landscape.
