THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE (SHRI HUKUMDEO NARAYAN YADAV)
(a) & (b): Yes Sir. The Government of Kerala had submitted a proposal for construction of fishing harbour at Koyilandy in Kozhikode district at a total cost of Rs. 23 crores and sought for central assistance under the Centrally Sponsored Scheme. The proposal for development of fishing harbour at Koyilandy as submitted by the State envisages construction of breakwaters, quay wall, auction hall, dredging, land acquisition, approach and internal roads, parking area and other ancillary facilities.
(c) On scrutiny of the proposal, the State Government has been requested to forward detail project report after completion of the ongoing model studies with revised structural designs, if needed and firm and realistic cost estimate together with the confirmation such as
(i) availability of necessary land for development of the proposed fishing harbour,
(ii) necessary environmental clearance has been obtained from the competent authority for implementation of the project and
(iii) adequate budgetary provision exists in the State Budget to share 50% capital cost of the project. Since State Government has not yet forwarded the complete proposal as requested above, the time period by which the project is likely to be cleared and financial assistance provided cannot be indicated by the Union Government at this stage.
