PM Narendra Modi addresses the webinar on vision of PM Gati Shakti and its convergence with Union Budget 2022 :
To fulfil the dreams of 21st century India, PM Gati Shakti will enhance the infrastructural fervour of New India.
PM Gati shakti will not only lead to rapid infrastructure development but also generate employment.
With PM Gati Shakti, we will be able to optimally utilise our resources.
From National Highway, Railway, Airway, Waterway, Optical Fibre, Gas grid to RE, the govt has increased investment in various sectors. We are focused on synergizing planning, development and monitoring plans for better infrastructural development.
A new scheme, Prime Minister’s Development Initiative for North- East, PM-DevINE, will fund infrastructure, in the spirit of PM Gati Shakti, and social development projects based on the needs of the North-East.
The scope of PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan will further reduce the compliance burden.
To strengthen cooperative federalism, the Government has decided to help state governments with allocation of ₹1 lakh crore. State governments can use this to develop multimodal infrastructure.
Unified Logistics Interface Platform (ULIP) will reduce logistics cost and time, assisting just-in-time inventory management, and in eliminating tedious documentation.
Technology will also play a major role in PM Gati Shakti. We have to find ways to construct quality infrastructure that are not only cost-effective but also disaster resilient.
PM GatiShakti Masterplan has more than 400 layers of dataplan. This helps in getting information for both existing and planned infrastructure.
