'Despite the setback, caused by the partition, Indian ports continued to grow after the independence.' Support the statement with examples. 

Development of Indian ports:

(i) Today Indian ports are handling large volume of domestic as well as overseas trade.

(ii) Most of the ports are equipped with modern infrastructure.

(iii) Previously the development and modernisation was the responsibility of the government's agencies but now private entrepreneurs have been invited for the modernisation of ports in India.

(iv) The capacity of Indian ports increased 20 million tonnes in 1951 to more than 500 million tonnes at present.

(v) Most of the foreign trade is handled by the sea routes. Hence ports continue to develop.
