Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Tuesday that India’s maritime sector grew manifold in the recent years, and has contributed to the nation’s trade.
He shared this while greeting the people on National Maritime Day. He wrote “In the last 8 years our maritime sector has scaled new heights and contributed to boosting trade and commercial activities.”
“In the last 8 years the Government of India has focussed on port-led development which includes expanding port capacities and making the existing systems even more efficient. Waterways are being harnessed to ensure Indian products get access to new markets.”
“While we are leveraging the maritime sector for economic progress and building an Aatmanirbhar Bharat, we are also taking adequate care to ensure the marine eco-system and diversity which India is proud of is safeguarded.”
