This article shares updates on the significant improvements in rural roads and bridges in Bihar, enhancing connectivity and livelihoods.
Big changes have happened in Bihar since 2005. Once, the villages were filled with dusty paths and muddy roads during rains. But now, the sound of happy children fills the air, and farmers can easily take their vegetables to market. This transformation is thanks to the teamwork between NABARD and the state government.
The latest government report reveals that work on rural roads and bridges is progressing well. Out of 2025 rural roads and 1239 bridges funded by NABARD, over 80% have been completed. This project, costing around Rs 5989 crore, is not just about roads; it’s about creating a better future for the villages.
In Nalanda, for example, most of the approved roads are now completed, connecting villages to the city. Gaya, known for its tough terrain, has also made rapid progress with many new roads and bridges. These developments are bringing life to areas that once struggled with connectivity.
Patna, the capital, is seeing similar improvements. Most roads and bridges are now ready, allowing villagers easy access to markets. This has saved time for farmers and opened up new job opportunities for the youth, making life much better for everyone.
This collaboration between NABARD and the state government shows that better roads lead to better opportunities. The new pathways are not just routes; they are lifelines connecting villages to the broader economy and development.
