The Society’s vision is to embracing into a leading authority on India’s maritime history beginning from the prehistoric period all the way to the contemporary period including events that have shaped the country’s political, geographical as well as sociocultural realms. This will encourage further exploration in this fascinating field.

Our vision is to be dynamic, inclusive, and forward-looking towards celebrating the richness and diversity of maritime history and its vital importance to our shared human experience.
