I wish to bring all that into the department!

And last of all, FUN!

year where information/skills are most necessary Sessions by Seniors/Alumni Proposed examples

Department Magazine Restart proposed Report of our activities, felicitation of good contributors, deliverable to stakeholders

Resources
Department Website (naval.iitkgp.ernet.in non-

functional) A national programme in marine hydrodynamics under our department has a much better website under the institute than our department! CORAL has one! Student & Faculty portals for opportunities in the department for projects

Resources
How to make money for all of this?! Proposal : Year-long packaging Approach followed till now : For every event, call up

different shipyards and request for money! Some or the other company will give us some money Proposed : Make a proposal containing all events/activities in the year and promote year-long branding opportunities for the company special mention for company in all events. Could also request Study tours/sessions by the company for our students

Fun
Group activities initiated by NAROES Inter-batch sports matches Group Tours to nearby places during short holidays

The list is endless!

To conclude, what I wish to do is way beyond anyone has dreamt about for the position of President, NAROES. I wish to transform the very job-role of a President. I wish to make our department sound internally and externally. This is not an exhaustive list of proposals. Im always welcome to your ideas and look forward to hearing your questions and suggestions.
