Message
The completion of 150 years of Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port, Kolkata is a
momentous occasion. It is a proud moment for generations of people who
have served the Port and the nation during this journey.
Ports have been the hub of socio-economic activities, trade and commerce
for long. Coasts and ports are gateways to development that play a prominent
role in the nation’s economic growth.
Our Government is unwavering in its commitment to modernize the
infrastructure, improve connectivity and augment the capacity of ports. Our
emphasis on expansion of river waterways is boosting trade and commerce and
furthering our all-round progress. We have implemented several projects to
ensure not just the development of ports, but to herald port-led development.
This Port has been a witness to many a momentous event in history. I am
sure that the Port and the people working in it will draw inspiration from
Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee’s selfless dedication and vision of development
in the country.
The e-publication being brought out to commemorate the occasion will trace
the Port’s origin and evolution. May the digital publication be read and liked
widely.
Best wishes to all the members of Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port for their
future endeavours.
