The picture of the village has changed
Jagran correspondent, Patna. The villages of Bihar are now changing rapidly and the biggest reason for this change is the improving rural roads. These roads connecting farms, hamlets, markets and panchayats have filled new energy in rural life. Under the Bihar Rural Road Maintenance Policy-2018, the state government had set a target of maintenance of 40,265 km of rural roads.
Out of this, 15,589 roads of 37,589 km length have been completely repaired, due to which the picture of rural Bihar has started looking changed.
The government's emphasis is not only on building new roads but also on long-term maintenance of old roads. Due to this, now uninterrupted travel is possible in rural areas in every season.
It is easier for farmers to transport their crops to the market, time is being saved for children to go to school, while in case of emergency, the speed of ambulances and relief teams has also become faster than before.
Rural roads: a new basis for both development and security
Better roads are proving to be a game-changer for the rural economy. Milk, vegetables, fruits, grains and other rural products are now rapidly reaching cities, due to which the income of farmers is also increasing.
Its positive impact is clearly visible in the field of law and order also. Where earlier it took a long time for the police to reach remote villages, now better roads have reduced the response time drastically.
Disaster relief and health services are also now able to reach villages quickly.
Under the scheme of the state government, a total of 16,174 rural roads, whose length is 40,265 kilometers, have received administrative approval. Most of these works have been completed and work on the remaining is going on at a fast pace.
