| What was the purpose of the Ganga-Brahmaputra Water Transport Board? | to coordinate the efforts of the participating Governments in developing water transport on the Ganga and Brahmaputra Systems | 2. Before 1950, there was no proper institutional set up for the development of IWT. A beginning was made during the First Plan when the Ganga-Brahmaputra Water Transport Board was set up as a Joint Venture of the Central Government and State Governments of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal and Assam. Its objective was to coordinate the efforts of the participating Governments in developing water transport on the Ganga and Brahmaputra Systems. Subsequently, the Government of India established the Inland Water Transport Directorate in the then Ministry of Shipping and Transport in 1965. In March, 1967, the Ganga-Brahmaputra Water Transport Board was merged with the IWT Directorate. Also, Central Inland Water Transport Corporation Ltd. (CIWTC) was set up at Kolkata in 1967 after taking over the assets and liabilities of the erstwhile River Steam Navigation Company Ltd. 3. | 321 | definition | 1.000 | https://shipmin.gov.in/sites/default/files/IWT%202008-09.pdf | Its objective was to coordinate the efforts of the participating Governments in developing water transport on the Ganga and Brahmaputra Systems. |
