Dear Sisters and Brothers,
 
Sub: “NUSI Career Counselling” webinar for children of all ranks of seafarers
Identify the best educational and career stream after 10th and 12th Std.
 
Saturday, 26th June, 2021 on online ZOOM platform
 
The Covid 19 pandemic has brought in challenging situations not only for the seafarers, but also their families - particularly children.
 
As schools and colleges have been closed due to lockdown, students have less opportunities to exchange information. Among the many challenges triggered by the pandemic, the educational and career-related choices is one of the most important for the students.
 
To help children of all ranks of seafarers address these challenges, NUSI is coming up with a counseling program to identify the best educational and career stream after 10th and 12th Std.
 
As part of the celebrations of the “Day of the Seafarer”, an online “NUSI Career Counselling” interactive webinar will be held on Saturday at 3.00 pm on 26th June, 2021 on ZOOM wherein guidance will be provided by expert Counsellors. This is a good opportunity for seafarers and their children to connect with expert Counsellors and gain knowledge about various career options.
 
Wondering how to choose a career after 10th or 12th ??? Join the interactive “NUSI Career Counselling” Webinar.

 Circular No. 18 of 2021                                                                                                                                           2nd June, 2021

 

Dear Sisters and Brothers,

All ranks of seafarers need to get Covid Vaccination for their own safety and for their employment.  We want to save the jobs of our seafarers.  NUSI has strongly taken up the matter with the Government to reduce the gap between the 1st and the 2nd dose of vaccination.

NUSI is facilitating Covishield Vaccination for all ranks of seafarers under the NUSI Vaccination Drive.  The paid vaccination will be done after 10th June, 2021.  The paid vaccination will be around Rs. 1200/- per vaccine which is to be paid to the private medical team by the seafarers.  NUSI has already announced financial support to the seafarers.

Fresh and new announcements of the NUSI Vaccination Drive

  • The spouse (wife or husband) of the seafarer can also apply.
  • The children of seafarers above 18 years of age can also apply.
  • Above financial assistance in full will be given to the seafarer including family as per guidelines.
  • Payment made by seafarers will be remitted directly to their bank accounts if details provided to NUSI.
  • NRI/NRO/NRE accounts is not accepted. Please provide only savings bank account.
  • The venue for the vaccination can either be in Navi Mumbai or Andheri.
  • Vaccination is only by invitation and on verification and not by “walk-in”.

Easy steps to be followed by all ranks of seafarers

  • Go to COWIN registration link https://www.cowin.gov.in/home and register yourself for the Covishield Vaccination.         You will get the Beneficiary Reference ID.
  • In case of spouse (wife or husband) or seafarers children above 18+, fresh application needs to be filled for each person with the same Seamen Book number reference of the seafarer.
  • As explained this is pilot-project in Mumbai. Hence, only those seafarers who can take the vaccines in Mumbai should register on first-come-first-basis as per guidelines.
  • Go to link https://forms.gle/uQga2umH8Wrzhq5v7 and fill up the form for NUSI Vaccination Drive for all ranks of seafarers including your complete address.
  • The 2nd dose of Covishield will be given only on the basis of the date mentioned in COWIN.
  • NUSI will inform seafarers / family members about their vaccination appointment date by email.
  • Failure to keep the appointment will cancel the vaccination.

NUSI wants to do similar pilot-project in other Indian cities also.  Seafarers are strongly advised to do some homework and find and give details to NUSI for getting paid vaccine in their own States so that NUSI can make contact and start pilot-project in your city also.

 

Long Live NUSI                                                                                                                                   Seafarers Unity Zindabad
