Gatishakti: Five key infra projects recommended

The Prime Minister's ambitious infrastructure initiative, Gatishakti, has taken a significant step forward with the recommendation of five key projects for approval. These projects, spanning various sectors crucial for India's development, were proposed during the recent meeting of the National Infrastructure Pipeline Task Force. The projects recommended for approval encompass diverse areas such as road construction, urban development, and energy infrastructure.

One of the highlighted projects is the development of an expressway connecting Delhi with Dehradun. This strategic road link is anticipated to enhance connectivity and facilitate smoother transportation between the two significant regions. Additionally, a proposal for the expansion of the Chennai-Bengaluru Industrial Corridor has been put forth, aiming to bolster industrial growth and economic activity along the route.

Furthermore, the recommendation includes projects focusing on urban development and energy infrastructure. Plans for the construction of a new integrated command and control center in Varanasi, along with the establishment of a National Centre for Drinking Water Quality Assessment in Kolkata, reflect the government's commitment to enhancing urban amenities and ensuring the provision of clean drinking water to citizens. In the energy sector, a project for the development of green energy corridors to transmit renewable energy across the country has been proposed, aligning with India's goals for sustainable development.

The recommendation of these projects underscores the government's dedication to fostering robust infrastructure across various sectors, crucial for propelling economic growth and improving citizens' quality of life. Once approved and implemented, these initiatives are poised to make significant contributions towards India's development trajectory, enhancing connectivity, promoting industrialisation, and advancing sustainability goals. Gatishakti continues to emerge as a cornerstone initiative, signalling the government's proactive approach towards building a resilient and prosperous nation.
