Description

The project aims to upgrade rural roads in 34 districts of the State of Maharashtra to all-weather standards. The roads will improve connectivity between habitations, productive agricultural lands, and economic growth centers across the state. This will enhance employment opportunities and help reduce poverty, especially in rural areas where about 55% of the state's population lives. The project will enhance agricultural productivity, add value to agricultural produce and will contribute to increasing the average growth rate of agriculture and allied activities to more than 5% per year by 2030 target of the state's long-term strategic development plan, Vision 2030.
