Mr Rashid Yusuf-A living legend

Taking a less travelled path seems to be tradition, Of ‘Yusuf’ family the owners of India’s first steam navigation; Sir Mohammed Yusuf’s spirit of ‘Raham’ for the needy, Endeared him in Nhava’s surroundings speedily. Seeds sown to encourage orphans and wards of seafarers, Touching hearts and lives of many most preciously treasured; lead to foundation of this unparalled complex T.S Rahaman, for the tradition to synthesise with innovation and grand plans. Mr Rshid A.Yusuf, a budding architect sacrificed his glamorous field, At God’s call and will,accepted the baton to serve the cause of the seas; Facing many great hurdles to keep the tradition alive, Even existence of this illustrious establishment appeared astride. His extraordinary vision and missionary zeal, Spending sleepless nights with environmentalists got the seal, Government relenting and giving a nod, To retain the lush green campus in its present abode. Mrs Elizebeth Yusuf turned this island to a flowery haven, Rahaman aptly described as the earthly heaven; To make a difference in the lives of the community at large, Is the topmost priority ,personal discomfort apart. Bringing the institute to to international maritime standards, Positioning the state of the art equipment and search for excellence; Quality continues to be the hallmark in all the actions, Giving Philip to careers of seafarers and surrounding population. Providing facilities for good health and education, Rahaman is at its lofty status flying its flag high; Nurturing of such noble ethos of charity and uniqueness of style, Rightly honoured Mr Yusuf with Varuna award,a matter of pride.
