Amazon to ship products via the Ganga River.

Amazon and the government are teaming up to do something cool in India. They're going to use the Ganges River to ship stuff like your online orders. It's like a special road, but it's on the water!

This new project will start its practice run from Patna to Kolkata. It's a big deal because it helps move things around for online shopping in a better way. The government says it's not just about making things move; it's also about being good to the environment and helping the country grow.

The person in charge, Sarbananda Sonowal, thinks this is a big step to make things work better. He says using the waterway will help in moving stuff faster, being nicer to the environment, and helping the country grow more.

This isn't just for big companies like Amazon; it's also good for people who make cool things in small towns. They can now sell their stuff to more people around the country and even in other countries!

Soon, a ship with a bunch of online orders will start its journey from Patna to Kolkata. It's like a big adventure for your packages!

This waterway thing is part of a bigger plan by the government. They're doing lots of projects to make shipping things by water better. It's not just good for now; they want to do even more by 2047.

So, it's not just about sending your orders; it's about making things better, and greener, and helping everyone. Amazon is happy because it'll cost less to send your stuff, and other companies might also use the waterway idea.

The government has big goals, like moving over 200 million tons of stuff by 2030 and way more by 2047. They want to have more than 50 special water roads by then. It's like they're planning a big water highway for a better and greener future!
