Ministry Sanctions ₹114.32 Cr for Rural Connectivity in Tripura
Agartala, Tripura – In a major boost to rural infrastructure, the Ministry of Rural Development has sanctioned ₹114.32 crore for the construction and upgradation of rural roads in Tripura under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY). This initiative aims to enhance connectivity in remote villages, improve access to essential services, and support socio-economic growth in the northeastern state.
Project Overview
The sanctioned funds will be utilized for:
- Construction of new rural roads to connect unserved villages.
- Upgradation and strengthening of existing road networks to ensure durability and all-weather accessibility.
- Development of small bridges and culverts to enhance connectivity across water bodies and difficult terrains.
- Implementation of eco-friendly road construction techniques for sustainability.
The project will cover multiple districts, including Dhalai, Gomati, North Tripura, and South Tripura, focusing on areas with poor connectivity.
Strategic Importance of Rural Connectivity
Tripura, being a hilly and forested state, faces significant challenges in rural transportation. The sanctioned funds will:
- Improve road accessibility for villages lacking proper transport infrastructure.
- Facilitate better access to healthcare, education, and markets for rural communities.
- Boost agricultural and small-scale industries by enabling better transportation of goods.
- Enhance socio-economic opportunities, reducing rural isolation and poverty.
A senior official from the Tripura Rural Development Department stated, “This funding is a crucial step toward bridging the rural-urban divide in Tripura. The improved road network will bring transformative benefits to thousands of villagers.”
Implementation & Future Plans
The project will be executed in collaboration with the Tripura Public Works Department (PWD) and is expected to be completed within 18-24 months. The government is also planning to integrate smart road technologies and sustainable construction practices to ensure long-term benefits.
