of experts under different divisions of NSC and to define the Job Description and role
and responsibilities of the staff.
2.4 Shri. Jackson one of the members of the above mentioned committee lamented that
the Chapter did not co-operate with the Committee, no records were given and the
committee has to fend for itself. He mentioned that the honorarium paid to the faculty
members ranged from one thousand to ten thousand and there was no fixed slab for
the same. The quality of the training programmes was very poor. He even questioned
the caliber/competence of some of the faculty members nominated from the executive
committee. He pointed out that Cochin Shipyard Ltd was hesitant to award training
contracts to NSC-KC due to this fact. He further pointed out that the chairman’s photo

was badly edited, which tarnished his image and was disrespectful. He further added
that Shri. Madhu S Nair, CMD of CSL, Shri. Sreejith N, CGM - SR and himself were not
aware of the Samoohya Suraksha Award function. He alleged nepotism in the conduct
of training programmes by the Chapter and attributed this to the absence of the
Chairman in the function. He accused that everything was being done in a cavalier
manner which would only alienate the members from the Chapter.
Countering the allegation, the Honorary Secretary informed the gathering that
Shri. Madhu S Nair and Shri. Sreejith were informed about the Award function and
that Shri. Nair called him to convey that he was unable to attend the meeting and
that Director (Technical), CSL was assigned to attend the function in his behalf. The
secretary also explained the situation in which the Chairman’s photo had to be edited
using Photoshop. He added that it was removed as soon as the chairman expressed his
displeasure/pointed out the lacunae
The Secretary thanked all members for their whole-hearted support and co-operation
in successfully coordinating the various activities of the Kerala Chapter and requested
for their continued support in the future as well.
