Atishi Singh
The upcoming budget session of Delhi’s assembly, scheduled to commence on February 15 and conclude on February 20, will bring significant focus to road development in rural areas of the national capital, according to inside sources from the AAP government.
Finance Minister Atishi will be presenting the 2024-25 budget, and it is anticipated that a notable rise in allocations to the development department will be proposed. This increase is primarily aimed at a planned project to refurbish approximately 1,000 kilometers of rural roads, benefiting nearly 360 villages, both rural and urbanized.
The key objective of this project is to resurface all the roads in villages that have deteriorated or become non-motorable over time, enhancing the connectivity and infrastructure of these areas.
In previous discussions about the budget, the government outlined priority areas, including water, power, health, and education. Additionally, the budget is set to introduce the “Business Blasters” program for final-year and pre-final-year students in colleges. This initiative is an extension of the existing scheme in Delhi government schools.
The 2023-24 budget had a substantial focus on a ‘Clean, Beautiful, and Modern Delhi’, allocating a significant portion of Rs 78,800 crore to this endeavor. Furthermore, Rs 21,000 crore was earmarked for infrastructure development across Delhi.
