Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, Shri Nitin Gadkari, highlighted the pivotal role of infrastructure in national development, emphasizing that an improved transport system opens new doors for economic growth and creates employment opportunities. The Minister was addressing the inaugural session of a two-day conference on "Latest Emerging Trends and Technologies in Road and Bridge Construction," organized by the Madhya Pradesh Public Works Department and the Indian Road Congress, held in Bhopal.
Shri Gadkari reiterated that infrastructure development remains a top priority for Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, as this sector not only drives progress but also lays the blueprint for India's future. He emphasized key objectives such as ensuring uncompromising quality, reducing road accidents, protecting the environment, and resolving on-ground challenges, which he believes can only be achieved through collective efforts across all levels.
Addressing the importance of rural road development, Shri Gadkari advocated for the adoption of a "waste to wealth" policy, which promotes the use of waste materials in road construction, yielding both financial and environmental benefits.
