Union Minister Nitin Gadkari has championed Assam’s growth with a massive ₹747 crore approval for critical infrastructure. This visionary step accelerates connectivity and economic progress in the Northeast.
Funding Breakdown
The package splits into targeted investments under the Central Road Infrastructure Fund (CRIF).
- ₹617.98 crore for 10 key road development projects statewide.
- ₹129.74 crore for 16 new bridges via the CRIF Setu Bandhan scheme.
These initiatives promise faster travel, efficient goods movement, and stronger local trade networks.
Impact on Assam
Gadkari emphasized how robust roads and bridges drive inclusive development. Projects will cut travel times, spur jobs, and enhance socio-economic ties across strategic regions.
Ahead of PM Modi’s February 14 inauguration of the Kumar Bhaskar Varma Setu, this funding reinforces Gadkari’s legacy of transformative Northeast infrastructure.
