Ayurveda is emerging as India’s soft power

As India organises the 9th World Ayurveda Congress and Arogya Expo, which begins on December 8, this is our opportunity to showcase Ayurveda and what steps are being taken to enable it to reach its true potential. At this congregation, hundreds of health care professionals and experts in traditional medicinal practices from 53 countries will be participating to gain first-hand knowledge of Ayurveda.

Inland waterways will reshape transportation

Priority development of National Waterway-1 was undertaken through the Jal Vikas Marg Project (JVMP), which includes Arth Ganga, and they will give an economic boost of ₹1,000 crore over the next five years. Besides trade benefits, the local community’s enhancement and passenger facilitation will also ensure large-scale skills development and boost public/private sector capability

A World Bank study shows that one litre of fuel can move 105 tonne-km by inland water transport, against 85 tonne-km by rail and 24 tonne-km by road. Similarly, the carbon emission per tonne-km is 32-36 gm in the case of container vessels, against 51-91 gm for road transport vehicles. This also means we must use renewable energy in inland waterways. (HT PHOTO)
