In recognition of the invaluable contributions of Naval Civilians to the operational preparedness of the Indian Navy, a grand Commemoration Ceremony will be held on 30th December 2024 at the Dr. DS Kothari Auditorium, DRDO Bhawan, New Delhi.

The event will be graced by the Hon’ble Raksha Mantri as the Chief Guest.

The Indian Navy declared 2024 as the ‘Year of Naval Civilians’ to enhance administrative efficiency and promote the well-being of its Civilian Personnel.

Throughout the year, numerous initiatives were undertaken to improve HR management, training, welfare, and safety.

Key milestones include the introduction of the Citizen’s Charter for the Directorate of Civilian Personnel, a revised HR Handbook, and a Vision Document for Naval Civilian HR Management.

Welfare measures such as insurance coverage for Civilian Personnel onboard ships and the extension of CGHS facilities to 21 industrial units in Mumbai were implemented.

Digital modernisation was prioritised, with the revamping of the Naval Civilian Management Information System (NCMIS) website and the rollout of e-HRMS Version 2.0 for Gazetted Officers.

Training programs, including modules on the iGOT platform, were also introduced.

This initiative reaffirms the Navy’s commitment to its Civilian Personnel, playing a crucial role in enhancing maritime security and operational excellence.
