Bhubaneswar: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lay foundation stone for 1,380-km road, including a 147-km stretch in Odisha’s tribal-dominated districts, under Pradhan Mantri Janjati Adivasi Nyaya Maha Abhiyan (PM-JANMAN) while attending the concluding ceremony of the Jharkhand BJP’s ‘Parivartan Yatra’ in Hazaribagh on October 2.

According to official sources, the new road project will cover Deogarh, Gajapati, Mohana, Rayagada, Baliguda, Malkangiri, Gunupur, Sundargarh and provide better connectivity to the tribals.

Modi will inaugurate and lay the foundation stone for multiple projects, including more than 1,380 kms of road, 120 Anganwadis, 250 multi-purpose centres and 10 school hostels, worth over Rs 1,360 crore under PM-JANMAN. He will unveil a series of landmark achievements under the scheme – electrification of more than 75,800 Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTG) households in around 3,000 villages, 275 mobile medical units, 500 Anganwadi centres, 250 Van Dhan Vikas Kendras and saturation of more than 5,550 PVTG villages with ‘Nal se Jal’, a PIB release said.

In line with his commitment to ensure comprehensive and holistic development of the tribal communities across the country, the PM will also launch Dharti Aab Janjatiya Gram Utkarsh Abhiyan with a total outlay of over Rs 79,150 crore during this second visit to poll-bound Jharkhand within a month.

The Abhiyan will cover around 63,000 villages, benefitting more than 5 crore tribal people in 549 districts and 2,740 blocks across 30 states and UTs. “It aims to attain saturation of critical gaps in social infrastructure, health, education, livelihood, through 25 interventions implemented by various 17 ministries of the Union government,” it read.

To boost the educational infrastructure for the tribal communities, he will inaugurate 40 Eklavya Model Residential Schools (EMRS) and lay the foundation stone for 25 EMRS worth over Rs 2,800 crore.

During his last visit to Jharkhand earlier this month, the PM had virtually flagged off six new Vande Bharat trains, including two for Odisha.
