## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN MINISTRY OF SHIPPING (SHRI PON. RADHAKRISHNAN)

(a)&(b): According to the Indian Ports Act, 1908, the Major Ports are under the administrative control of Government of India and the Non Major Ports are under the overall jurisdiction of the respective State Governments. All the 12 major ports are functional and their performance and functioning is regularly monitored by the Ministry of Shipping. The ports  are  functioning  on  the  basis  of  availability  of  cargo  and  industrialisation  in  their hinterland. The capacity and efficiency of ports is regularly upgraded and enhanced to meet the demands of the Trade. No proposal is under consideration in the Ministry of Shipping for converting  any  of  the  non-functional  or  existing  ports  into  ship-building  yards.  The  list  of Major Ports and Non Major Ports (State Wise) is enclosed at Annexure I & II .

- (c) As  Non-Major  Ports  are  under  the  jurisdiction  of  respective  State  Governments therefore, Ministry of Shipping is not spending any amount for up-keeping of these ports. In respect of Major Ports, Ministry of Shipping is not providing financial support for up-keeping of  ports.  However,  the  Union  cabinet  had  approved  extension  of  financial  assistance  to Kolkata  Port  Trust  for  reimbursement  of  expenses  for  Channel  &  River  Dredging  as  per details given

below.
