In a major push for rural infrastructure, the Ministry of Rural Development has sanctioned 27 new roads spanning 50.13 km under the Connectivity component of PM-JANMAN for Maharashtra. This initiative, with an investment of ₹50.35 crore, aims to enhance rural connectivity and drive economic growth, particularly benefiting Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs).

Key Benefits of the Initiative:

 All-weather connectivity: The roads will connect 27 PVTG habitations, ensuring year-round access to essential services.

 Economic empowerment: Improved connectivity will boost trade, commerce, and local employment. 

Better access to healthcare & education: Villagers will have enhanced mobility to hospitals, schools, and markets. 

Bridging rural-urban divide: The roads will link remote villages to urban centers, fostering inclusive development. 

Employment generation: The project will create local jobs, providing livelihoods for rural workers.

Additional Developments Under PM-JANMAN

  • The government will implement maintenance mechanisms to ensure the roads remain functional for years.
  • Eco-friendly construction techniques will be incorporated to minimize environmental impact.
  • Special emphasis will be placed on women-led self-help groups (SHGs) to promote economic participation.
  • The roads will support agricultural supply chains, helping farmers access markets easily.

This initiative will have a transformative impact on Maharashtra’s rural landscape, uplifting tribal communities and accelerating development in previously inaccessible areas. The government remains committed to inclusive growth and empowering marginalized communities.
