Conversion of Rivers Into Waterways

A bill for declaration of 101 new waterways as National Waterways (NWs) was introduced in the Lok Sabha during the Budget Session of 2015 which has been sent for examination to the Department-related Parliamentary Standing Committee on Transport, Tourism & Culture. 

The exact model for development of waterways and the amount required for the development will depend on the feasibility study and Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) of related waterways. 

This information was given by Minister of State for Shipping, Shri Pon Radhakrishnan in a written reply to a question in the Rajya Sabha today.
