The length of rural road constructed reached new heights in 2016-17. In this fiscal, the government constructed 47,010 Km of rural roads and it is almost double of what the figure was in 2012-13 when only 24,161 Km of roads were constructed.
Under the PMGSY, 133-km roads per day in 2016-17 were constructed against a 2011-14 average of 73-km per day.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
