| Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | Poor road infrastructure affects economic growth in rural areas. It impacts negatively on domestic and local trade, on the final cost of goods, competition and competitiveness, logistics in general, movement of people, inward investment opportunities, and ultimately on employment. Poor road connectivity has a strong link to poverty. Past neglect of the rural road network has cut off rural communities from mainstream economic centers in the country and even locally. Poor road connectivity has resulted in slow development, and in some cases a faster than needed exodus of young people to cities. The Government is trying to redress this problem under PMGSY, Assam, Orissa, and West Bengal, which are first targeted under the Investment Program, are among the 10 states with large rural populations that lack adequate coverage in terms of all-weather road connectivity. The poverty head count rates in these states are among the highest in India. | ||||
| Impact | Contribute to reduction in poverty and deprivation, and support economic growth of the communities connected by Investment Program roads. | ||||
