## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF ROAD TRANSPORT AND HIGHWAYS

## (SHRI MANSUKH L. MANDAVIYA)

- (a) The  Ministry  is  primarily  responsible  for  development  and  maintenance  of  National Highways  (NHs).  The  total  length  of  NHs  in  the  country  is  about  1,20,144  km.  The  funds  for development  and  maintenance  of  NHs  are  not  allocated  project-wise  or  NH  length-wise.  The State/Union Territory (UT)-wise details of allocation of funds and expenditure for development and maintenance of NHs during the last three years and current year are annexed.
- (b) The criteria for declaration of State roads, including State Highways, as new NHs include roads  running  through  length  /  breadth  of  the  country,  connecting  adjacent  countries,  National Capitals  with  State  Capitals  /  mutually  the  State  Capitals,  major  ports,  non-major  ports,  large industrial centers or tourist centers, roads meeting very important strategic requirement in hilly and isolated  area,  arterial  roads  which  enable  sizeable  reduction  in  travel  distance  and  achieve substantial economic growth thereby, roads which help opening up large tracts of backward area and hilly regions (other than strategically important ones), achieving a National Highways grid of 100 km, etc. The demands from States / public representatives are also duly considered.

The  Central  Government  declares  State  roads  as  new  NHs  from  time  to  time  through publication  of  notification  in  the  Official  Gazette,  depending  upon  requirement  of  connectivity, inter-se priority and availability of funds.
