Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated India’s first multi-modal terminal on the Ganga river in Varanasi on 12 November 2018. He said that the movement of the first cargo vessel on an inland waterway after independence is a historic achievement and that transportation through rivers and water channels is a proof of new India and its new vision. The revival of inland waterways in India is a new step toward economic development as it would ease traffic pressure on roads and help cut logistic costs. The transportation system is a big boost for eastern India, which would benefit from it directly. Inland waterways will not only help Uttar Pradesh, but also West Bengal, Jharkhand and Bihar. The Prime Minister said his constituency Varanasi will be a showcase of India’s development for the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas scheduled for next year. The people of Varanasi will be ready to welcome non-resident Indians and the city should leave such an impact on them that they should visit it again and again. The National Democratic Alliance government aims to increase the inland waterway cargo movement from 8 million tonnes at present to 27 million tonnes in the next one-and-a-half to 2 years.
