Terming infrastructure as pivotal in propelling prosperity and growth, President Ram Nath Kovind said the government’s endeavour is to build 35,000 km of highways, besides expressways, by 2022 and to lay a strong foundation for urban infrastructure that will encourage employment generation. Addressing joint sitting of both Houses of Parliament, the President said massive work to create infrastructure is underway, and electric vehicles (EVs) are being promoted to reduce pollution. Along with highways, the government is also working extensively in areas such as railways, airways and inland waterways. The President said the current government’s continuous endeavour has been to build infrastructure in an eco-friendly manner. Along with concrete, greenery has been made an integral part of highway and expressway projects.
