The Kerala government has tabled an amendment bill for the Kerala Maritime Board, outlining ten key changes as part of its Mission Samudra initiative.
The state of Kerala has introduced an amendment bill aimed at overhauling the Kerala Maritime Board. The legislation lists ten specific changes that are intended to strengthen the board's role in the state's coastal and maritime development.
The proposed amendments are framed within Mission Samudra, the government's flagship programme to boost maritime infrastructure, safety and economic activity along Kerala's shoreline. Officials say the changes will streamline governance, improve operational efficiency and align the board's functions with national maritime policies.
The bill has been placed before the state legislature for discussion, and stakeholders from the shipping, fisheries and tourism sectors are expected to provide input before it is passed into law.
