Dear students and teachers,
In light of the recent scenario involving pandemic COVID-19, we are aware of the difficult times
everyone is facing today. Here at Maritime Education Training & Research Institute (METRI
Kolkata) , we have always taken pride in our infrastructure and everyone’s safety has been our
motto. Cleanliness is more important now than ever before, so we have taken active steps to
promote social distancing.
In this difficult times, it is paramount that we all stay at home for our own safety and prevent the
virus from spreading. Hence, we have introduced our very own virtual classroom to allow live
interaction between the tutor and the learners while participating in learning activities. This is a
great opportunity to explore online learning environment and take education to a higher level.

Lastly, we would urge you to lookout and care for one another in this difficult times while not
missing out on education. It is also crucial to follow the Government’s guideline to fight against
COVID-19. We hope this is over soon, till then stay safe, wash your hands and take care.

Best Regards
Thanking you,
Gopal Das
Chairman, METRI Kolkata
