An investment of Rs 50,000 crore will be made to boost infrastructure along National Waterways in the next five years, according to an announcement made at the Inland Waterways Development Council (IWDC) meeting at Kohora in Kaziranga. IWDC was organised by the Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI), the nodal agency for the development of waterways under the Ministry of Ports, Shipping & Waterways (MoPSW). A major policy initiative in the form of the Riverine Community Development Scheme was mooted at the meet to improve the socio-economic well-being of coastal communities by developing infrastructure. Speaking at the event, Ports, Shipping and Waterways Minister Mr Sarbananda Sonowal said 1,000 green vessels will be launched in the next five years to boost green shipping in inland waterways. After the success of Kochi’s Water Metro project, it will be expanded to 15 cities of the country, including Guwahati, he added, as per a report.
