| Objectives: |
State Government has been constantly endeavoring for development of the segment of Vijayawada-Ranchi Corridor within Odisha so as to facilitate development of Left Wing Extremism prone areas in order to bring the inhabitants, who are mainly poor tribal to join the main stream of society. Development of this corridor is anticipated to reduce Left Wing Extremism activities in those areas. Besides, on implementation of this project, a through connection will be available from Vijayawada to Ranchi with accessibility to the vulnerable areas, which will open new avenues for development in these areas, equitable development of the undeveloped areas presently deprived of basic necessities and removal of the regional disparities with improved road connectivity. |
