HP Mukhya Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana 2021
In the HP Budget 2021, the state govt. has announced to spend Rs. 75 crore amount under Mukhya Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana. The government had firstly started this scheme namely Mukhyamantri Gram Sadak Yojana in the financial budget 2016-17.
Objectives of Mukhyamantri Gram Sadak Yojna
Under the Mukhya Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana, the state government will develop road connectivity between villages/habitations and cities. The MMGSY will permit the upgradation (to the prescribed standards) of the existing roads in those districts where all the eligible habitations of the designated population size have been provided all weather road connectivity.
Need for Mukhya Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana in Himachal Pradesh
The state government received grievances regarding partial connectivity due to non-construction of end roads penetrating into the heart of habitations. The state government has launched the new scheme in order to provide better and easy facility to the villages and reduce the lifestyle and economic development gap between cities and villages.
The state government has set aside Rs. 75 Crore for the Mukhya Mantri Sadak Yojana for the financial year 2021. Preventive maintenance of roads will be undertaken using micro surfacing, bitumen slurry and fog-seal techniques which will help keeping them free of pot holes and in good condition.
An amount of Rs.50 crore shall be spent on W-metal beam crash barriers to increase road safety. In addition, in future, the W-metal beam crash barriers shall also be proposed for NABARD and PMGSY works.
Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana in Himachal Pradesh
PM Gram Sadak Yojana started by former Prime Minister of India, late Sh Atal Bihari Vajpayee, has proved a boon for the State. Till now 2,896 works involving 17,716 kilometres long road have been completed under the Yojana. An amount of Rs.5,378 crore has been spent so far. The remaining 787 works covering 4,143 kilometres of road sanctioned under the scheme with a cost of Rs. 2,756 crore are in various stages of execution.
It was not possible to expand the road network to this extent without this PMGSY due to limited financial resources available with HP government. Work to up-grade 3,125 Kilometre long rural roads will be taken up under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana III immediately after getting approval of shelf from the Government of India.
