Tripura's Ministry of Rural Development has approved 25 road projects totaling 65.38 km under PM-JANMAN, costing INR 68.67 crore. These roads will connect 30 habitations of Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs), improving all-weather access to schools, healthcare, and markets. Beyond accessibility, the projects are expected to boost local trade, create employment during construction, and integrate remote communities with urban centres. This infrastructure push is a key step in supporting socio-economic development and inclusive growth in Tripura's tribal areas.
The Ministry of Rural Development has recently approved 25 road projects in Tripura under the PM-JANMAN scheme, covering a total length of 65.38 km with an estimated cost of INR 68.67 crore. These projects aim to connect 30 habitations of Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs) in remote areas of the state. Officials have emphasized that the initiative is intended to improve access to essential services and support socio-economic development for these tribal communities. Advertisement
These roads are expected to provide all-weather connectivity, enabling residents to reach healthcare centres, schools, and local markets more conveniently. Improved transport links will reduce travel time, ensure timely delivery of government schemes, and help communities access emergency services efficiently. The projects are particularly important for PVTGs living in hard-to-reach locations where transport and communication have historically been limited.
In addition to better access, the road projects are likely to boost local economic activity. Farmers and small traders will be able to reach urban centres more easily, helping them sell their produce and access goods and services. The construction phase is also expected to create short-term jobs for local residents, contributing to income generation and skill development in rural areas.
This initiative forms part of the government's broader effort to improve infrastructure and promote inclusive growth in Northeast India. Officials have noted that connecting remote tribal habitations with reliable roads is a step toward bridging gaps in access to education, healthcare, and markets, while supporting long-term economic integration and development.
