State Highways play major role in economic development of the people as it connects major & important places of the State as well as neighboring States. Also, development of these roads will improve tourism activities in the State as it connects major tourist places. The Left Wing Extremism activities in the State have become a threat for development. The improved roads in these areas are strategically significant since it would provide better connectivity, resulting in efficient handling of law and order situation and thereby reduce Left Wing Extremism activities. Moreover, due to increase in industries and mining activities, day by day increase in traffic intensity requires rehabilitation and augmentation of the State Highways in order to provide good roads. Due to inadequate funding in other continuing Schemes & considering importance of the State Highways in improving the socio-economic condition of the people, this scheme has been taken up for development of these roads. With a view to improve all State Highways in a time bound manner & considering its contribution in uplifting the socio-economic condition of the people of the State, this scheme has been envisaged with a target of improving and widening of all State Highways to 2-Lane corridors from its existing Single/ Intermediate Lane carriageway.
