As you may be aware that since 1992 hundreds of our seafarers and their families have visited and taken benefit of the NUSI Holiday Home and Sanatorium at Lonavala. NUSI members enjoy a clean, comfortable stay, food, recreation and sports activity. NUSI has been receiving requests for upgrading the sports facility which is very popular, particularly amongst the children of seafarers.

The NUSI Sanatorium is also an old age home for our senior seafarers. Our senior seafarers are well taken care of in all manners including proper medical facilities in the evening of their lives.

Keeping in mind the mental well-being, on 20th February the dedicated NUSI Indoor Sports Complex at NUSI Holiday Home and Sanatorium, Lonavala was inaugurated by former NUSI Assistant General Secretary, Mr Ronald D’rose in the presence of Mr Sunil Nair, Assistant General Secretary and Mr Suresh Solanki, Organising Secretary. The NUSI Indoor Sports Complex comprises of billiards, table tennis, carom board, chess, etc.

In his address, Mr D’Rose, who retired on 9th May, 2009 stated that he was honoured, even after so many years, to inaugurate the NUSI Indoor Sports Complex.  He said “I am happy to note the good work done by NUSI for the benefit of the seafarers and their families.” He gave his good wishes and blessings to do more which is very much appreciated.

The NUSI Indoor Sports Complex will be an added benefit for the visiting seafarers and their families, the shipping fraternity in general including our resident senior seafarers of Lonavala.
