Special training programme on oceanography for students


The Union Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES) is preparing to launch a Deep Ocean Mission by January 2018, to spur research activities in ocean science and develop technology to harness ocean resources.

India has 7,500 km of coastline and 2.4 million square km of exclusive economic zone (EEZ). The oceans along Indian peninsula contain enormous opportunities in energy, food, medicine and a host of other natural resources.

The Ministry would soon launch a special training programme on oceanography free of cost for university students.

The rapid warming up of the Indian Ocean would add to the threat of heat waves and extreme rainfall events. The increasing ocean heat content in the Indian Ocean could have a bearing on the intensity of cyclones in the region as well as ocean acidification and marine biodiversity.
