Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan last week announced that the PM Bharatmala Pariyojana scheme from Raipur to Vizag via Nabarangpur district is expected to be completed by December 2023.

On a visit to Nabarangpur in Odisha, Pradhan reviewed a meeting on skill development and the school ecosystem. Pradhan also appreciated teachers for their good work on the ground.

After the meeting, Pradhan said the Bharatmala scheme will strengthen the economic corridor in Nabarangpur district. He said all the governmental steps including land acquisition are mostly complete.

The government's ambitious Bharatmala Pariyojana focuses on optimising the efficiency of freight and passenger movement across the country by bridging infrastructure gaps. The project includes the development of economic corridors, inter-corridors and feeder routes, national corridor efficiency improvement, border and international connectivity roads, coastal and port connectivity roads and greenfield expressways.
