Infrastructure
The Connectivity Revolution, which was launched by the NDA
Government, and has already yielded visible results in several sectors,
will be further accelerated. Specifically, our Government will do the
following in the coming five years:
Roads
1) Timely completion of the National Highway Development
Project (nearly 15,000 km): Phase 1 (Golden Quadrilateral) by 2005;
Phase 2 (East-West and North-South Corridors) by 2008; Pradhan
Mantri Bharat Jodo Pariyojana (additional 10,000 km, linking all
those State capitals not covered by NHDP, as well as important
commercial centers in all the States, to NHDP with 4/6 lane highways)
by 2009.
2) Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana: Linking all rural habitations
with a population above 1,000 by 2005; linking all rural habitations
with a population above 500 by 2007.
3) Private investment in public transport systems will be encouraged.
States will be given incentives to speed up restructuring of their road
transport corporations. At least five thousand new buses will be added
to their fleets every year through a special fund. A separate fund for
improvement of all the Inter-State Bus Terminals and District Bus
Stations will also be set up.
4) In addition to road construction, a program for creation of road
services like parking facilities, hotels, shops, medical facilities, business
centers, food kiosks, etc. in a well-planned manner, will be taken up.
5) Road safety has not received adequate attention in India. As many
as 78,000 people die in road accidents each year. The Government will
start a National Road Safety Mission, with necessary legal,
regulatory, technology and mass awareness measures.
"Sampoorna Sadak Connectivity"
A new program called the "Pradhan Mantri Pradesh Sadak Yojana"
(PMPSY) will be launched to improve all the State Highways and district
roads in the country. These are the weak link in our road network that
includes world-class national highways on one end and rapidly
improving rural roads on the other end. The blueprint of this program,
including its funding and monitoring, will be prepared after detailed
consultation with State Governments. Reform of State PWDs and
participation of the private sector will be the highlights of this new
project. PMPSY will provide the missing link in the comprehensive road
connectivity revolution, to be called the "Sampoorna Sadak
Connectivity" initiative, whose other three links are already being
implemented by our Governmentnamely, National Highways
Development Program (NHDP), Pradhan Mantri Bharat Jodo Pariyojana
(PMBJP), and the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY).
