“We will partner with neighbouring countries to strategically manage the Himalayan rivers. Our focus will be on holistic measures to mitigate the devastating effects of floods and harnessing hydroelectric power to generate affordable electricity.”
India pursues trans-boundary river cooperation (e.g. with Bhutan and Nepal on hydropower and water management, and data-sharing arrangements) and is expanding hydroelectric capacity in the Himalayan/Northeastern region (large hydro projects in Arunachal Pradesh and elsewhere). However, holistic flood mitigation across Himalayan rivers and comprehensive partnerships remain works in progress, with some cross-border water issues unresolved. Partial, low confidence.
We will continue to strengthen Bharat’s coastline by developing a resilient infrastructure, and prepare a master plan keeping in mind the special needs of coastal areas and ensuring all facilities.
We will transform our islands into premier global tourism destinations by developing world-class beach resorts, marine adventure activities, and robust coastal infrastructure, while preserving local ecosystems and promoting sustainable tourism.
We will ensure flood management in the Northeast by conducting advanced satellite imagery to identify places where big reservoirs can be constructed to store excess waters according to topography, which will be used for irrigation, organising water sports among others.
