It was established in 1986 with the objective of promoting the development and use of inland waterways in India.<\/p>\n<p>IWAI has been promoting the use of waterways for cargo transportation, passenger movement, and tourism development. It has developed a network of inland waterways, including rivers, canals, and backwaters, for the movement of goods and people. IWAI has also developed a number of tourist destinations along the waterways.<\/p>\n<p>The use of waterways has a number of advantages over other modes of transportation. Waterways are a more environmentally friendly mode of transportation. They are also a more cost-effective mode of transportation, especially for the movement of bulk cargo. Waterways can also help to reduce traffic congestion on roads and railways.<\/p>\n<p>IWAI is playing a key role in promoting the use of waterways in India. It is developing new infrastructure, such as ports and terminals, and it is providing financial assistance to private companies to develop inland waterways projects. IWAI is also working to improve the safety and security of waterways.<\/p>\n<p>The use of waterways is expected to increase in the future. This is due to a number of factors, including the increasing demand for transportation, the need to reduce pollution, and the need to improve the efficiency of the transportation system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;Cargo transportation&#8221;
