The Telangana government, which has set its sights on achieving a $3 trillion economy by 2047 through various strategies, is also driving rural development alongside Hyderabad’s urban growth with several flagship initiatives aimed at strengthening infrastructure, empowering women and conserving water resources.
As part of this effort, the Panchayat Raj and Rural Development department has launched an ambitious mission to upgrade rural road networks through programmes such as HAM, PMGSY, CRR and MRR.
With the aim of building 7,449.50 km of rural roads and connecting unlinked Gram Panchayats with respective mandal and district headquarters, the government has sanctioned ₹16,007.56 crore and floated tenders for 17 packages via e-procurement under the HAM (Hybrid Annuity Model).
Further, 201 km of roads and 34 bridges have been completed at a cost of ₹455 crore in the past two years under PMGSY (Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana). Meanwhile, works on 25 projects covering 66.98 km at a cost of ₹66.86 crore are progressing rapidly under PM-JANMAN.
