ROAD CONNECTIVITY IN BUDAUN DISTRICT
†2201. SHRI ADITYA YADAV:
Will the Minister of ROAD TRANSPORT AND HIGHWAYS
सड़क परिवहन औि िाजमार्ग मंत्री
be pleased to state:
(a) whether the Government has assessed the adequacy of National
Highways, State Highways, district roads and rural roads in Budaun
district of Uttar Pradesh which support industrial and agricultural
marketing activities;
(b) if so, the details thereof along with the steps taken by the
Government to improve connectivity, logistics efficiency and last-
mile access for industrial areas and MSME clusters in the said
district; and
(c) if not, the reasons therefor?
ANSWER
THE MINISTER OF ROAD TRANSPORT AND HIGHWAYS
(SHRI NITIN JAIRAM GADKARI)
(a) to (c) The Government in Ministry of Road Transport &
Highways is primarily responsible for development and maintenance
of National Highways (NHs) in the country including the NHs in
Budaun district in the State of Uttar Pradesh. Development and
maintenance of State roads including State Highways, district
roads, rural roads etc. is the responsibility of State Government.The Government receives proposals from various State
Governments / Union Territories (UTs), from time to time, for
declaration / upgradation of State Roads, including State Highways
(SHs), as new NHs. Decisions are taken to notify State Roads
including from the district of Budaun in Uttar Pradesh as NHs from
time to time based on the broad principles of declaration of NHs,
requirement of connectivity, traffic density and synergy with PM
Gati Shakti National Master Plan (NMP).
Development and maintenance of National Highways (NHs) is
a continuous process. Works on NHs, including the NHs connecting
Budaun, are accordingly taken up based on the traffic density,
condition of road and synergy with PM Gati Shakti NMP to keep the
NHs in traffic worthy conditions.
NH-530B traverses Budaun district in a length of 55
km. Project-wise details of sanctioned/ ongoing NHs projects for
development and maintenance of NHs passing through Budaun
district are annexed.
At grade intersection, Vehicular Underpass (VUP)//Flyover is
provisioned as per Indian Road Congress (IRC) standards whenever
NH intersects a State Highway/District road/rural road depending
upon traffic intensity, road safety and site requirements.
The Detailed Project Report (DPR) module tool developed by
the Government along with the available features in the dynamic
Geographic Information System (GIS) platform based on PM Gati
Shakti NMP Portal is helpful for optimizing the NHs project
alignments and planning of projects considering information related
to existing physical / geographical features, forest areas, eco-
sensitive areas, etc., in minimizing ecological impacts,
requirements of clearances and faster and more effective project
preparation. This contributes significantly in faster
implementation of projects by obviating need for mid-course
corrections / revisions in project features during project
implementation phases. Further, projects are also examined by
Network Planning Group (NPG) and the advice of NPG is suitably
incorporated.The PM Gati Shakti NMP portal depicts the economic zones
and the infrastructure linkages required to support them with an
objective to holistically integrate all the multimodal connectivity
projects. This also facilitates identifying the missing gaps for
seamless movement of people, goods & services for proper
connectivity, thereby improving the logistics efficiency, thus
boosting trade and manufacturing.
These developments have increased the balanced regional
connectivity and accessibility to the NHs across the country
including increased logistics efficiency.ANNEXURE
