## Report on Amendment to National Highways Act, 1956 - Regarding Execution of Works in Rajasthan
**1. Executive Summary:**
This report analyzes a notification issued by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways on April 13, 2021. This notification represents an amendment to a previous notification (S.O. 1096E, dated August 4, 2005) under Section 5 of the National Highways Act, 1956. The core purpose of this amendment is to delegate the execution of works pertaining to specific sections of National Highways within the State of Rajasthan to the State Government of Rajasthan, subject to compliance with existing rules under the Act. This report details the specific National Highway sections affected by this change and the implications for stakeholders involved in highway construction and maintenance in Rajasthan.
**2. Introduction:**
The purpose of this report is to provide a comprehensive overview of an amendment to a previous notification regarding the execution of works pertaining to National Highways. This analysis is based solely on the provided text of the notification issued by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways on April 13, 2021, specifically S.O. 1585(E).
**3. Policy Overview:**
This notification amends the original notification S.O 1096(E), dated the 4th August, 2005. The core objective of the original policy, as inferred from the amendment context, is to define the roles and responsibilities for the execution of works related to National Highways. The objective of *this amendment*, as stated in the provided text, is to delegate the execution of specific highway works to the State Government of Rajasthan.
**4. Background and Rationale:**
This amendment likely aims to improve the efficiency and responsiveness of National Highway maintenance and development within Rajasthan by delegating authority to the State Government. This delegation suggests that the Central Government believes the State Government is better positioned to manage the execution of works on these specific highway sections.
