We are a youth-led, pioneering organisation with the synergy of a maritime-focused think tank and a non-governmental organisation (NGO) committed to the integrated development of India’s coastal and maritime sector. Through innovative research, educational programs, and community-driven initiatives, we aim to strengthen maritime safety and champion sustainable progress. As a ‘think-and-do tank’, we not only conduct research and analysis, but also actively implement our findings and ideas into real-world initiatives and projects. We strive to go beyond traditional research by taking action and turning ideas into direct and measurable impact.
From developing and implementing programs to advocating for policy changes to starting new initiatives based on research, our work involves in-depth studies on security, heritage, and governance, while fostering youth engagement and public awareness. By connecting with local communities and advocating for impactful policies, we aim to create resilient, vibrant and empowered coastal societies for generations to come. Anchored in science, inspired by policy, and driven by people, C.A.R.c.E. aims to generate high-quality research, support innovative technologies, train future maritime scholars, and empower coastal communities along India’s 11098.81-kilometre-long coastline.
To evolve into a leading centre of research and innovation that empowers youth to pioneer sustainable maritime initiatives for India’s coastal regions. We envision building a vibrant ecosystem of knowledge where academic excellence meets real-world application, driving meaningful social and environmental transformation. Through collaboration, creativity, and compassion, our goal is to nurture visionary leaders dedicated to strengthening coastal resilience, advancing maritime security, and fostering inclusive community development. By connecting young minds with purpose and opportunity, we aspire to create a future where coastal prosperity and sustainability thrive hand in hand.
To empower coastal communities, we aim to enhance knowledge through innovative research, education, and grassroots volunteerism. We believe in the transformative power of youth-led social impact initiatives that not only uplift local coastal societies but also inspire the next generation of leaders. An emphasis on collaboration will empower youth to lead impactful steps and enterprises, encouraging ownership and responsibility within their communities. By prioritising academic excellence and humanitarian initiatives, we seek to build meaningful connections with coastal societies, create abundant opportunities for young minds, and champion sustainable development.
