DHI ADHYAYANA
A VEDIC LEARNING METHODOLOGY,TECHNIQUE & PHILOSOPHY INVENTED AND PRACTICED BY THE FOUNDER OF THE TRUST.
DHI ADHYAYANA-
Its a Unique way of imparting the knowledge through Vedic style which incorporates in its methodology elements of 'understanding', 'reflection', 'religious thought', 'mind', 'design', 'intelligence', 'opinion', 'meditation', 'imagination', 'notion', and 'intellect'.
Having the insight Knowledge that is inspiring and awakening which allows us to be discussed for creating a Apêksh (Hope).
By discussing with the concepts of desires and wishes, that is Be-jod (Unique) and Navapravartana (innovative), having a Drishti (Vision) that leads to a Udayana (conclusion), through Preran ban kar (becoming motivated) and presenting reason or reasoning, that is positive leads to success, knowledge & Prosperity in a unique way.
By adopting innovation that has a vision leading to conclusion through motivation and empowering, takes us to the path of progress and through practice leads us into the path of Moksha or the Ultimate.
Meaning of Dhi and Adhyayana
Dhi (Sanskrit: धी) is a Sanskrit word meaning 'understanding', 'reflection', 'religious thought', 'mind', 'design', 'intelligence', 'opinion', 'meditation', 'imagination', 'notion', and 'intellect'.
The word अध्यापन Adhyāpana is a causal word of अध्ययन Adhyayana which in Sanskrit usually means learning or reading or studying. The distinctiveness of this word is that it not only refers to learning or reading or studying but it explains what exactly is meant by learning. It incorporates in it GYANAM (Sanskrit word meaning Knowledge), JAGRUT KARNE (Sanskrit word meaning Inspiring)
Vidya*(Sanskrit: विद्या)-The text pertaining to Vedic Philosophy – meaning science, learning, knowledge, and scholarship. Most importantly, it refers to valid knowledge, which cannot be contradicted, and true knowledge, which is the intuitively-gained knowledge of the self
About
It was a sense of patriotism combined with telling concern for the mariners, particularly among the under privileged section, that inspired us to find this Kanhoji Angre Research Maritime Academy, a public charitable trust, a non commercial organization, with an objective to provide with compassion and wisdom, educational, socio-medical services to the needy Seafarers at minimum possible cost. We go beyond the syllabus while imparting knowledge.
It is registered under the commissioner of charities Mumbai, Maharashtra India in Sept 2022.

What is Navigational Skills assessment Program
The Navigation Skills Assessment Program (NSAP) is a Risk-based measurement tool to assess a mariner's performance in the Simulator, Focuses specifically on the core skills required of licensed deck officers as defined by International Standards and Industry best practices.
What are the findings of Certifying Navigational Skills: A Video-based Study on Assessments in Simulated Environments
In Maritime Education and Training (MET) where students are trained for professions with high standards of safety, the use of simulators is taken to provide opportunities for safe and cost-effective training. Although the use of simulators for training and certifying technical proficiency and so-called nontechnical skills is well established and regulated by international standards, previous research suggests that simulator-based assessment has been poorly implemented in the MET system. Now the challenge is to contribute with knowledge about how to conduct consistent, unbiased, and transparent assessments of navigational skills and competencies. However, in current research it is not evident how training of nontechnical skills in simulated environments should be assessed. The aim of this study is to explore the pedagogical challenges instructors face when assessing students’ navigational skills and competencies in a simulated environment. The study is based on video-recorded data from the certification part in a navigation course for second year master mariner students. A situated approach to cognition and learning is employed to analyze the co-construction of assessment in the simulated exercises by means of instructors’ questions and students’ answers. Results reveal an assessment practice where the students are still developing their navigational skills with instructional support from examiners whilst being certified on using Radar equipment in accordance to COLREG.
What is MEOSAR
MEOSAR
MEOSAR satellites orbit the Earth at an altitude of between 19,000 and 24,000 kms. The satellites are positioned so that there is an overlap of at least 4 satellites for any given region of our planet.
How many MEOSAR satellites are there?
MEOSAR Constellation, GPS-DASS (S-band), GLONASS K
| Number of active satellites | 17/24 | 2/24 |
| Number of orbital planes | 6 | 3 |
| Orbital inclination | 55º | 64º |
| Orbital altitude | 20,180 km | 19,140 km |
Is MEOSAR operational?
Satellites in medium-altitude Earth orbit (MEO), which form the MEOSAR system currently operating regionally with early operational capability. Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) satellites orbit the Earth at an altitude between 19,000 and 23,000 km, a range considered as medium- altitude Earth orbit

IS 'ALARP' is enough in Management of & Risk assessment on board a vessel?
As low as reasonably practicable may not be enough in my countries Safety laws. There need to be more barriers and regulatory requirement in various Jurisdiction.
ALARP, or ALARA, is a principle in the regulation and management of safety-critical and safety-involved systems. The principle is that the residual risk shall be reduced as far as reasonably practicable. In UK and NZ Health and Safety law, it is equivalent to SFAIRP.
