Maharashtra govt to revise construction rates fixed during MVA tenure
The Eknath Shinde-led government has formed a committee to revise and increase construction cost for farm access roads, which was fixed barely one year ago by the previous Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government.
The Employment Guarantee Scheme (EGS) Department of the Maharashtra government in November 2021 announced the ‘Matoshri Gramsamruddhi Shet / Panand Raste Yojana’ — a scheme for the construction of farm access roads, which are vital for the transport of machinery used in various farm related activities — and fixed the construction rate at Rs 23.84 lakh. It was meant for two types of work: Strengthening of existing dirt farm access roads and removing encroachment on them; and building better quality roads.
