      <Abstract>India observed 58th National Maritime Day on the 05th of April 2021. In tune with the International Maritime Organization’s theme for 2021, __doublequotosingSeafarers: at the core of shipping’s future__doublequotosing, India’s Maritime Day recognizes the services of seafarers and services of persons and organizations connected with promotion and development of national maritime industry.&#13;

In the emerging global scenario, India stands at an important juncture where the prominence of the sea is emerging as vital to its aspirations for growth. The geopolitical environment, particularly on account of an assertive China; emerging challenges to global order; developmental and economic considerations; dynamic and fluid neighborhood scenarios; challenges arising due to environmental and climate change concerns; and the sheer weight of internal challenges are increasingly bringing the Indian Ocean Region (IOR) and Indo-Pacific into sharp focus. The necessity to abide by and uphold international law while at the same time navigating the complex national interests have placed India in a position where the rest of the world takes a keen interest on India’s actions on the international arena as well as the shifts in its policy paradigms.&#13;
&#13;
Duly appreciating India’s concerns, UGC Centre for Maritime Studies, Pondicherry University and Electronic Journal of Social and Strategic Studies (EJSSS) jointly hosted a webinar on 05 April 2021 to discourse Emerging India from Maritime Perspective.</Abstract>
