improvement to bring the existing networks to the required standard and
specification, GOM have raised fund from various resources like assistance from
the NABARD, HUDCO, Private investment for BOT works etc. apart from Plan &
Non-plan works allocation from Annual State budget.
The Road development has been implemented by taking up works under
various scheme such as MREGS, PMGSY, BOT, works through RIDF project, CRF,
NABARD loan. All this construction activity had given boost to increase the
employment to Skills and Unskilled works on a large scale.
Details of some Important scheme Implemented:
1.Works through Centre Road Fund (CRF)
The details of works done under CRF are as given in the table

4)Village Connectivity:-
As per Govt. norms all village having population more than 2000 as per
1991 census , these villages are to connected with blacked topped roads.
The works of village connectivity is done under PMGSY. In Aurangabad
region all villages more than 1500 population are to connected by B.T.
road. In Aurangabad district out of total 1300 villages 967 are connected
by B.T. road.
5)Works Executed through BOT:
Major Works executed through BOT in Aurangabad dist. are
12

1) Four laning of Aurangabad-Jalna road (MSH-6) km. 10/400 to
60/00, Zalta ring road 0/00 to 2/800 and Beed by pass
2) Four laning of Aurangabad – A’nagar (SH-60)
13

CHALLENGES:-
The major challenges facing in transport system are
1)Roads are congested and Poor quality:
Though National Highway passing (NH-211) through district is of Two lane
may be congested in future looking to the growth of traffic. State Highway system
are Two-lane or less with the creation of low lane capacity. Low lane capacity
reduces the speed of vehicle. This contributes to high fuel consumption, more
time in travel, and huge pollution. Most of SH are of poor quality due to nonmaintenance
facing Lack of fund.
2)Poor access to rural area:
Almost 70 % of population reside in rural area. Although the rural road
networks is extensive, villages faces problem during monsoon season due to lack
of BT works.
3)High cost of Travel through Airway:
Though Airway travel is fastest and safe as compare to other mode of transport,
still it is out of reach of common man to travel through Airway due to its High cost.
4)Heavily crowded
Trains:
Though Railway is cheapest mode of transportation it is very difficult to find place
in Railway trains. Railway is crowded throughout the year.
