Passing out parade held at INS Valsura

Rajkot: After successfully completing 26 weeks of specialization in electrical engineering, 346 trainees of the direct entry electrical mechanic (DEEM) Power (P) and Radio (R) courses, including 29 sailors from the Indian Coast Guard passed out from the portals of INS Valsura on Thursday.
In addition to giving them core fundamentals in electronics and electrical technology, the maiden course aimed at providing the trainees not only hands-on training at the laboratories but also an opportunity to demonstrate their skills. The trainees were taught how to assemble basic semi-conductor components in electrical circuitry to help them get confidence in handling any sort of electric and electronic circuit defects at sea besides moulding the young minds into competent sea warriors.
Commodore Ajay Patney, Commanding Officer, INS Valsura reviewed the impressive Passing Out Parade held at the establishment following all Covid-19 safety protocols.
The award for ‘Best Coast Guard Trainee (Power)’ went to Deepak Chauhan, NVK(P) and the award for ‘Best Coast Guard Trainee (Radio)’ went to Utpal Maity, NVK(R).
