Indian Navy has declared 2024 as the ‘Year of Naval Civilians’ to improve the administration, efficiency and well-being of Naval Civilians by addressing all facets of Civilian HR Management in a time-bound manner. Major focus areas towards maximizing administrative efficiency, digital initiatives, generic and specific training programmes and welfare activities have been identified for implementation in 2024.
Naval Civilian Personnel constitute about a third of the Indian Navy’s total workforce and contribute significantly to its operational effectiveness across all domains. Civilian personnel impacts the overall performance of Naval formations such as Command Headquarters, Dockyards, Material Organisations, Naval Armament Depots, Naval Armament Inspectorates, Training Establishments and several other types of support units.
Several initiatives have been conceived and implemented in the past to enhance organizational efficiency and satisfaction levels amongst civilian personnel. However, the impetus must be provided to their administration, training, welfare, etc. so that they effectively contribute towards ensuring that the Indian Navy always remains a combat-ready, credible, cohesive and future-proof force. Declaring 2024 as a year dedicated to them is a step in this direction.
