New Delhi, 9 December (H.S.): The Ministry of Rural Development has sanctioned 25 road projects spanning 65.38 kilometres in Tripura under the Road Connectivity component of PM-JANMAN, with a total investment of ₹68.67 crore, the government announced on Tuesday.

According to the Ministry, the projects aim to provide all-weather road connectivity to 30 Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group (PVTG) habitations across the state. The initiative is expected to significantly improve socio-economic conditions in remote tribal regions by enhancing access to healthcare, education, and markets.

Officials said the projects will also create employment opportunities, promote economic development, and help bridge the gap between rural and urban areas. The move aligns with the Government’s vision of a prosperous Northeast and a developed India (Viksit Bharat) under the ongoing Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav celebrations.

The Ministry noted that the PM-JANMAN scheme will have a transformative impact on Tripura’s tribal districts, reinforcing the Centre’s commitment to inclusive and sustainable growth in India’s northeastern region.
