World Bank’s Rs 100 CR Financial Support To Assam For Safer Boat Transportation

In the attempt to make safer transportation by best engine fitted private boats to control boat mishap the World Bank has sanctioned Rs. 100 crore to implement the Jiban Dinga scheme where the Assam government is quite positive about its outcome.

 

Already much boat owners have shown positive response to government’s approach of implementing the Jiban Dinga scheme to improve the condition of the privately operated vessels. Key issues of implementing this scheme is that the demand of private boats are high where larger boats are not equipped with marine engines and existent boats do not have the capacity to maneuver during emergency cases. So the government is planning to replace agriculture pumps, motorcycle engines and others with marine engine and for this upgrade will provide 70% of the cost to the private boat owners.
