1) Watersport potential surveys:
As part of our resolve to strengthen every endeavour leading to watersports development and promotion, many surveys were taken up to assess potential. These cover feasibility studies for water sports operation & studies on assessment of water sports potential and impact assessment.
Main beneficiaries were the government agencies viz. Kerala, Orissa, Madhya Pradesh, Pondicherry, Andaman, Karnataka, Mizoram, Arunachal Pradesh, Maharashtra, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Jammu, Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, West Bengal Andhra Pradesh & Sikkim. Private entrepreneurs have also got similar studies done for their ventures.
2) Watersport equipment procurement:
Institute also performs advisory roles for procurement of quality water sports equipments for the government bodies. Some of the states for which Institute tendered advises were Maharashtra, Himachal Pradesh, A&N Administration, Lakshadweep, Bihar, Darjeeling Gorkha Hill Council, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu and Jammu and Kashmir. The Indian Army, Coast Guard and similar institutions have also been approaching the Institute for its views from time to time.
3) Beach rescue system for Kerala & Goa Tourism.
4) Feasibility Studies for Watersport Operators:
Institute has undertaken many water sports feasibility studies for enthusiastic private entrepreneurs- both inland/river system and on the sea coast. Of late, request for such studies are increasing and efforts are being made to address those.
Institute charges requisite fees to carry out the
study. But, the quantum of the fees is decided on the basis of the nature of the study and quantum of work involved.
