Indian Coast Guard

Indian Coast Guard was established on 01 Feb 1977 as a new service for the requirement to enforce National Laws in the waters under national jurisdiction and ensure safety of life and property at sea. The agency provides following services to the Nation and marine community:

• Ensuring safety and protection of the artificial islands, offshore installations and other structure in our maritime zones.
• Providing protection to fishermen and assistance to them at sea while in distress.
• Preservation and protection of our maritime environment including prevention and control of maritime pollution.
• Assistance to the Department of Custom and other authorities in anti-smuggling operations.
• Enforcement of MZI Acts.
• Initiating measures for the safety of life and property at sea.

To provide the above services, the agency requires suitable candidates for its various positions. For an effective Coast Guard service, no single factor is as important as the men who are in it.

Despite the all-round technological advancement, the single most important factor even today, are the Officer and Men who will ultimately meet the challenge at sea. For the Coast Guard to be efficient, it requires top rate men.

You could be just the man for this challenging sea-going career if you are intelligent and bold and can think with originality and possess leadership qualities. The career opportunities are many; only you have to select a particular position which best suits your eligibility condition.
