National Institute Of Oceanography

Our office for the National Institute Of Oceanography is located at House Number 386 on M. G. Road. We are specifically in the Chougulewadi part of Tilakwadi here in Belgaum. It is a bit of a funny spot for an oceanography institute since we are quite far from the actual coast, but we make it work regardless. The building itself is an old house that has been converted. It has a lot of character, even if the stairs creak a little when you walk up them. Being in Karnataka, the weather is usually pretty fair, though it rains quite a bit during the monsoon season. We have a small team here. Most of us have been in Belgaum for years, so we know the neighborhood well. You might see us grabbing lunch at one of the small places down M. G. Road. We don't really have big signs or anything flashy on the exterior. We just have our name on the door. Inside, it’s mostly desks, computers, and bookshelves filled with old reports and research. It can get a bit cluttered with all the maps and data files we keep. We try to keep things organized but sometimes things just pile up when we are busy. If you are coming by, just look for the house number because it is easy to miss if you are driving too fast. It’s a quiet place to work, away from the main noise of the city center.
