Indo-Norwegian Project
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Indo-Norwegian Project was Norway's first foreign aid development project. The project was first established in Neendakara, near Quilon, Kerala in 1953; its aim was the modernisation of fisheries in Kerala, and also included improvements in health, sanitation, and water supplies, including building a water pipe factory.[1][2][3] The project was moved to Ernakulam in 1961, now focusing on fisheries only. At Ernakulam, an iceplant and workshop with slipway for fishing vessels were built. During the years 1952–1972, Norway gave technical and financial assistance to India to the tune of 120 million Norwegian kroners.
