Centre to deploy experts in states for better highway construction quality

The <b>Union Road Transport and Highways Ministry</b> is planning to transfer its highway-building expertise to various states by sending senior officials and engineers to state capitals. This initiative seeks to improve road quality nationwide following discussions held during a recent conclave in Gujarat. The ministry will share established practices for preparing detailed project reports, awarding contracts, and planning expressways alongside technical assistance. Odisha, Bihar, and West Bengal have already expressed interest in this collaborative infrastructure program. States are also being encouraged to adopt national digital platforms like <b>PM GatiShakti</b> and Bhoomi Rashi for project planning, construction tracking, and land acquisition. The initiative aims to strengthen regional infrastructure outcomes across the country.
