MESSAGE
T
he life in Coast Guard has always been challenging and the new
age security concerns have added more responsibilities to the men
and officers of the service. New stations are being commissioned and
new ships and aircrafts are joining the Coast Guard fleet. It is thus incumbent
on our part to rededicate ourselves in strengthening the social fabric of the
Coast Guard community.
I have no doubt that life of a Tatrakshika is even tougher than our men at
sea. She juggles various responsibilities and performs role of father to children
and son to parents during his absence. It is imperative that despite this burden
on her shoulders, her own growth should continue unabated. It is necessary
that her abilities and aspirations are nurtured and she gets a platform to express
her beautiful emotions. The theme of URMI 2012, ‘Explore-Evolve-Excel’ is in
perfect harmony with our focus on ‘Empowerment through Knowledge-Base
Development’ of a Coast Guard wife aka Tatrakshika.
URMI is the canvas to paint our vivid imagination and share rich experiences.
The editorial team of Urmi 2012 has achieved a perfect balance in the matrix of
our aspirations and endeavours. I congratulate all those who have made rich
contribution to the Tatrakshika and have enriched us with their contribution to
this edition.
I also extend warm greetings on the occasion of Tatrakshika Day to all
our members and their families.
Mrs Ila Sharma
President Tatrakshika (East)
