Catch them young seems to be the new mantra of Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways as it has formulated a scheme to engage talented, forward-thinking and dynamic young professionals in its various divisions.
The scheme focuses on active on-the-ground learning for young professionals.

Professionals will be required to deliver high-quality inputs in areas such as infrastructure, data analysis, project management, startup, innovation, skill development, digital transformation and the environment, among others, in order to meet the ministry’s needs.
The scheme will foster active involvement of young people in decision-making. This will further contribute to social wellness at an individual level, by boosting self-esteem and a sense of empowerment, and bring about crucial benefits for societies such as an enhanced awareness for common concerns and a joint resolve to identify solutions that work in the long term.
Initially, more than 25 young professionals will be hired under this scheme. Professionals will be required to have qualification in BE/ BTech, B Planning and/or MBA or equivalent degree in relevant subject/field and minimum three year of relevant work experience.
