Merchant Navy Officers' Association Releases Members’ Directory


Chandigarh: Merchant Navy Officers' Association (MNOA) Chandigarh has released the 9th edition of its Members’ Directory at a get- together held at Defence Services Officers Institute (DSOI) here. Around 150 members and their families attended the programme. 

Capt JS Gill, former Deputy Director General of Shipping, Government of India, was the chief guest of the occasion and Tina Ahluwalia, India Head of BLU Maritime Consultancy, a Singapore-based Maritime company, was the guest of honour.

Capt Tejinder Singh Bhatia, President of MNOA Chandigarh, said, “We have been publishing this directory almost every two years. Last time, in 2021, it could not be printed due to the pandemic. So it became more important for all of us to take out this edition at the first possible opportunity, mainly because few new members had joined the association in the meantime and the personal details of all the members needed to be updated regularly.”

"The directory will serve as a ready reckoner for those finding contact details of someone in the merchant navy fraternity in 'City Beautiful'. The advantage of the directory is also that all contacts of merchant navy officers' from Chandigarh have been put at one single place," Bhatia added.

Notably, there are details of close to 800 members in the directory. The directory contains the member's  name, current rank, location and contact details. It also has the name of  the member's  spouse and the couple's wedding anniversary date. Prince Goyal, Director of Equation Developers – a corporation that supported the event, was also present on the occasion.

In conversation with Ayaz Ismail, here's his take on the project. What is iThinkSmart exactly? To just simplify and say - iThinkSmart is a Learning Center and Sound Design Studio. What is the idea behind iThinkSmart? iThinkSmart was a dream plan, the learning aspect of it came much later, as studio was the main attraction to the business. My sister Awatif and I implemented the thought of sharing our knowledge with society and thought to create a learning center.  This is a platform where we can teach creative studies. Most learning centers focus on one idea which is Math, English etc, but we have created something beyond that. In one platform you can get access to everything. Music lessons, animation, K-12 curriculum with interactivity....
