GATI SHAKTI Scheme

●   Aim:

○   The scheme aims to guarantee integrated planning and execution of infrastructure projects, with an emphasis on accelerating groundwork, cutting expenses, and generating employment.

○   The National Infrastructure Pipeline, which was introduced in 2019 and cost Rs 110 lakh crore, was absorbed by the Gati Shakti scheme.

○   The program aims to reduce turnaround times at ports and increase cargo handling capacity in addition to lowering logistics costs to promote trade.

○   In addition, it plans to create two new defense corridors, one in Uttar Pradesh and one in Tamil Nadu, and eleven industrial corridors. Another goal is to provide 4G connectivity to every village and there are plans to expand the network of gas pipelines by 17,000 kilometers.

○   It will assist in achieving the challenging goals the government has set for 2024–2025, such as building more than 200 new airports, heliports, and water aerodromes, and extending the national highway network to 2 lakh km.

●   Integrated Approach: It aims to unite sixteen Ministries concerned with infrastructure. Long-standing problems like fragmented planning, a lack of standardization, difficulties obtaining clearances, and the timely creation and use of infrastructure capacities will all be helped by this.

●   Gati Shakti Digital Platform: It entails the establishment of a single, overarching platform that will enable the efficient planning and execution of infrastructure projects by facilitating real-time coordination between multiple ministries and departments.
