There are 3 major ways of transportation roadways, airways, and waterways. Any nation must use all three ways of transportation optimally to successfully climb up the stairs of growth and development of all sectors. However, in India, when compared to other modes of transportation and other countries like the U.S.A. and China, the waterways aren’t as popular and used.
To rectify this and increase the movement of goods through waterways, the government of India launched the Jalvahak scheme. The Government Yojana aims to optimally use transportation through waterways.
What Is The Jalvahak Scheme?
The government of India recently introduced a new govt scheme called the Jalvahak scheme specifically for waterways. This scheme’s primary aim is to increase the movement of cargo through waterways. This would not only boost the use of waterways but also make the lives of cargo owners easier by giving them one more option to transport the goods in a more convenient and effective manner.
