Samruddhi Mahamarg, or the Nagpur-Mumbai Super Communication Expressway project, is a significant step toward the realisation of the Prime Minister’s vision of improved connectivity and infrastructure throughout the nation.

The Prime Minister’s laying of the foundation stone for the National Institute of One Health (NIO), Nagpur, is a step toward developing the country’s infrastructure and capacity in accordance with the “One Health” philosophy.

The “One Health” approach acknowledges that human health is interconnected with animal and environmental health. This approach recognises that the majority of infectious diseases affecting humans are zoonotic (animal-to-human). The institute, which will be established at a cost of more than Rs 110 crore, will collaborate and coordinate with all stakeholders and act as a catalyst to improve research and capacity building in the country’s “One Health” approach.

In Nagpur, PM Narendra Modi will lay the cornerstone for a project to reduce pollution in the river Nag. The project, which is part of the National River Conservation Plan (NRCP), will be implemented at a cost of over Rs 1,925 crore.

The prevalence of sickle cell disease is relatively high in the Vidarbha region, particularly among the tribal population.

In February 2019, the Prime Minister laid the cornerstone for the Center for Research, Management, and Control of Haemoglobinopathies in Chandrapur. The Prime Minister will now dedicate the centre to the nation, which is envisioned to become a centre of excellence for innovative research, technology development, and human resource development in the field of hemoglobinopathies.

The Prime Minister will present the nation with the Central Institute of Petrochemicals Engineering and Technology (CIPET), Chandrapur. The institute seeks to cultivate skilled labour to meet the needs of the polymer and related industries.

It cost approximately Rs 2,870 billion to construct. It has adopted advanced technologies such as 3-D monolithic precast buildings, StabilRoad, robotic hollow precast walls, and 5G-compatible IT infrastructure. The airport features a runway capable of accommodating the world’s largest aircrafts, 14 parking bays with aircraft night parking, self-baggage drop facilities, and a cutting-edge and independent air navigation infrastructure.

Initially, phase I of the airport will accommodate approximately 4.4 million passengers per year (MPPA), which can be expanded to 33 MPPA. The airport will contribute to the socioeconomic growth of the state and meet the requirements of the tourism industry. It has the potential to serve as a major logistics hub, connecting numerous domestic and international locations. The airport is also expected to have multimodal connectivity.

In addition to being a world-class airport, the airport will give visitors a taste and feel of Goa. Goa-native Azulejos tiles have been utilised extensively at the airport. Additionally, the food court recreates the allure of a typical Goan café. Additionally, there will be a designated area for a curated flea market where local artisans and craftsmen will be encouraged to display and sell their wares.
