DGMA had the privilege of hosting Ms. Lakshmi Venkatachalam, IAS, former Director General of Shipping and Additional Secretary to the Government of India.

The enriching interaction inspired officers across the organisation to continue striving for excellence in maritime governance and administration, while also providing an opportunity to reflect on the evolution of India's maritime administration, draw insights from her vast experience, and reaffirm our collective commitment towards advancing the nation's maritime vision.

Her distinguished leadership and invaluable contributions to India's maritime sector continue to serve as a guiding force for maritime professionals across the nation.
