7th April 2025: The central government has recently given the green light to 26 road projects and two bridge projects in Odisha under PM Janman Yojana, marking a significant step in the state’s infrastructure development. These projects are set to enhance connectivity across the state, streamline transportation, and provide a strong foundation for economic growth.
This approval is part of the government’s broader initiative to upgrade infrastructure in rural and semi-urban regions. By improving transportation links, the projects aim to foster regional development, boost accessibility, and support local economies.
The 26 road projects will improve existing roads and build new routes, enhancing connectivity between rural and urban centers. In addition, the two new bridges will help overcome geographical challenges, improving transportation in areas previously hindered by rivers or other natural barriers.
These infrastructure upgrades are expected to not only improve everyday travel but also foster business growth, increase trade, and provide new opportunities for industries in the region.
The central government’s focus on improving rural connectivity through the PM Janman Yojana emphasizes its dedication to strengthening the country’s infrastructure and ensuring that even remote regions are linked to the nation’s broader development goals. These improvements are poised to enhance the quality of life for people across Odisha while driving economic progress.
