Explanation:
Road transport, being the most accessible mode of transport, is vital to the economic development of the nation. Social integration of the nation increases due to easy, safe and efficient road transportation. Road transport has gained higher share of both passenger and freight traffic compared to other modes of transport due to easy accessibility and reliability. To cater the increasing needs of a growing economy like India and increase in demand for transport services, it is required to expand, develop and improve road networks. This task of road development was decided to be done in a planned manner by the Government of India. Various road development plans were started by keeping in mind the future needs of India like National Highway Development Plan (NHDP) was started by BJP in 1999, Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) was also started by BJP in 2000, improving road connectivity to ports and airports and many more. Improving the overall safety, promote new technology, considering social and environmental factors and to reduce the fuel cost by improving quality of roads were the important concerns of the planning committee. While formation of these plans, various externalities such as environment, budget, safety and sideways amenities should be taken into consideration. Various contractual agreements are formed between a public agency and private sector entity that allows for greater private participation in the delivery of transportation projects. Several delays takes place due to acquisition of land, clearance by ministry of environment for deforestation, shifting of utilities which should be taken notice of while planning.
