Data insights	General Insights can be drawn from the data: Cargo Traffic Trends Over Time: You can analyze the trends in cargo traffic over the years to understand whether there has been a consistent increase or decrease in cargo handling at major and non-major ports in India.Regional Analysis: By examining the data by state, you can identify which states have the highest and lowest cargo traffic at major and non-major ports. This information can be valuable for regional planning and development.Comparison of Major and Non-Major Ports: Compare the cargo traffic at major ports with non-major ports to understand the relative importance and growth of these two categories of ports in India's maritime trade.Year-to-Year Growth: Calculate the year-to-year growth rate of cargo traffic at major and non-major ports. This can provide insights into the growth trends and fluctuations in the maritime sector.Impact of National Waterways: Assess the role of national waterways in transporting cargo. Check whether there are any noticeable trends in cargo transportation through these waterways.Forecasting: Use historical data to build predictive models that can forecast future cargo traffic at major and non-major ports. This can be valuable for planning and resource allocation.
