The Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI) was constituted on 27th October 1986 vide IWAI Act 1985 for development and regulation of inland waterways of the country. The Authority undertakes various development works on National Waterways and other works like carrying out feasibility studies, proposal for declaration of other waterways as National Waterways, assisting in development of IWT sector and provide subsidy to IWT operator for acquiring IWT fleet for transportation of cargo passenger etc. Three waterways namely Ganga, Brahamaputra and West Coast Canal have been declared National Waterways and three more waterways systems are under process of declaration as new National Waterways.
Inland Waterways Authority of India has set up National Inland Navigation Institute (NINI) at Patna, Bihar in February 2004 with a view to mitigate the problem of shortage of trained manpower for inland navigation and development of IWT Sector in India. The NINI has been set up primarily to impart quality training on various aspects of inland navigation.
The Institute has been set up in a sprawling campus of over four acres of land. The main building has four class rooms, library, auditorium, computer room and administrative offices. A modern hostel and a kitchen with dinning hall are also provided adjacent to the hostel.
The institute is located on the banks of the Ganga which is very convenient for practical training. |
