After the adoption of the Prime Minister’s GatiShakti National Master Plan (NMP) by all key central infrastructure ministries and departments, the industry department is now nudging state governments to weave it into their infrastructure projects.
This was stated on Monday by Sumit Dawra, special secretary, Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT).
Apart from planning infrastructure projects, states have been asked to identify ‘critical infrastructure gaps’.
The DPIIT has also been conducting workshops to promote wide adoption of PM GatiShakti. As of now, four regional workshops have been conducted with 30 states and Union Territories (UTs). The fifth workshop will be held in Varanasi from April 11 to April 12.
