"WOSC is designed to provide a common platform to all stakeholders of the ocean sector"
WOSC is Vijnana Bharati’s flagship programme in the Ocean Sector, held once every 3 years, the WOSC is designed to provide a common platform to all stakeholders of the ocean sector to meet, discuss and address common problems and priorities that need urgent attention.
For a maritime Nation like India, the WOSC holds immense potential as it is the one and only activity that attempts to bring together institutions, agencies and associations involved in shipping, fishing, mariculture, oil & natural gas exploration, biodiversity conservation, ecosystem management, legal & geopolitical systems etc., to discuss and resolve overlapping contemporary issues and problems most of which need holistic interventions.
