The emphasis is on bottom-up approach and make the country to move towards cooperative federalism. In the context of Sagarmala project, NITI Aayog has recommended creation of one Shenzhen-style Coastal Employment Zone (CEZ) one on the western coast and another on the eastern coast near deep- draft ports capable of accommodating very large and heavily loaded ships. To be successful, these zones would have to cover a large area (Shenzhen covers 2,050 square kilometres) and would have to have some existing infrastructure and economic activity. An important advantage of locating the zones near the coast is that they would attract large firms interested in serving the export markets. These firms would bring with them technology, capital, good management and links to the world markets. They would help create an ecosystem around them in which productive small and medium firms would emerge and flourish.

Thank you for the cooperation and support and also the delicious basket of seasonal fruits. Since the city is far away from Port, we would request if a seafarers club can be opened in your port. So that the seafarers can visit the club to buy some basic necessities, also for making long distance calls and to play some indoor games. This would be very useful and helpful to us.
