This initiative focuses on improving rural connectivity and uplifting Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs).
Key Highlights:
- In Tripura, 25 roads spanning 84.352 km have been sanctioned, with a budget of ₹76.47 crore.
- Odisha received approval for 26 roads covering 63.271 km and 2 long-span bridges, with an estimated investment of ₹69.65 crore.
