Govt to provide ‘green canopy’ on highways that can be linked to NREGA: Gadkari

28 Apr 2016 Evaluate

With an aim to boost rural economy and create a large number of jobs, Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari has said that the government plans to provide 'green canopy' on national highways at an estimated cost of Rs 5,000 crore and may link that with National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA).

Addressing a workshop on Greening of Highways, jointly organised by National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), along with The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), Gadkari invited interested investors to take up experimental projects in the area of transplantation along national highways and said that if needed, the government will provide technology and financial support as well to the selected agency. The minister pointed out that the projects will be monitored through satellite technology with payments to be made only after the successful implementation.

Furthermore, Gadkari urged TERI to share their inputs on the transplantation techniques. NHAI on its part said that it has set aside one percent of its project cost for transplantation, plantation, beautification and maintenance of national highways. Talking about environmental benefits that will accrue from greening of highways, the minister urged the use of biofuels in machines to be employed in the project and organic fertilisers for transplanted trees.

So far, Gadkari said road contracts worth Rs 1.5 lakh crore have been awarded and the number would swell to Rs 2 lakh crore by next month. In total the government is going to award at least Rs 5 lakh crore worth of highways projects and Rs 5,000 crore would exclusively be meant for greening of highways and transplantation of trees.
