Summary:
The PM GatiShakti National Master Plan, unveiled by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on October 13, 2021, has made significant progress in upgrading India's infrastructure over the past three years. Union Minister Piyush Goyal stated that the program integrates data from 44 federal departments and 36 states, transforming project planning and execution. This integration has enhanced project execution, reduced logistical costs, and improved service delivery, enabling assessments of over 200 large infrastructure projects centered on multimodal connectivity and resource allocation.
The PM GatiShakti initiative has had a tremendous impact on the social sector by identifying gaps in essential services such as healthcare and education, primarily benefiting underserved communities. Each of the 36 states and union territories has developed State Master Plans that align with the national framework for streamlined capital investments. The initiative has also improved India's logistics performance, as evidenced by its rise in the World Bank's Logistics Performance Index, further supporting the Atmanirbhar Bharat vision and future infrastructure development.
