The projects would be implemented with the support of NITI Aayog and would protect the fragile coral’s ecosystem. Three water villa projects which are among the first in the country will be opened in the Islands.
The three water villa projects will come up at Minicoy costing Rs. 319 crore, Suheli islands at a cost of Rs. 247 crore and Kadamat at Rs. 240 crore.
Lakshadweep administrator, S. Asker Ali, (IAS) said, “All the mandatory clearances are given for the projects are given upfront including the CRZ clearances.”
He also said that National Institute of Ocean Technology (NIOT) is preparing the Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) report which is required for CRZ clearance.
The administrator said that before finalizing the projects, the administration carried meaningful consultations with all the concerned stakeholders including public representatives and the concerned panchayats of Kadamat, Kavaratti and Minicoy. The local panchayats concerned have issued NOC for the planned eco-tourism projects at Kadamat, Minicoy and Suheli islands.
