Financial Grant of ₹59.76 Crore Granted to Khandwa, Madhya Pradesh
The city of Khandwa is set for significant improvements, as the Khandwa Municipal Corporation (KMC) has secured a grant of ₹59.76 crores from the Madhya Pradesh state government. This substantial funding, received under the "Special Assistance to States for Capital Investment" scheme, will be utilised to enhance infrastructure, strengthen roads, and beautify key areas in the city.
One of the key projects in the pipeline is the development of the Jalebi Chowk to Dharm Kanta Road, which will pass through the District Hospital and Ghantaghar. The cost of this road improvement project is estimated at ₹2.36 crores.
The KMC is also focusing on road construction and building developments, with multiple projects underway. For instance, a 1,100-metre cement concrete (CC) road from Rameshwar culvert to three culverts is currently being constructed, with a budget of ₹6.24 crore.
Other ongoing infrastructure tenders in Khandwa include the construction of a new National Sample Survey Office (NSSO) office building, valued at approximately ₹4.73 crore, and building and residential quarters construction under the Public Works Department, with estimated costs around ₹5.28 crore.
While the exact progress status of these projects is not explicitly reported, the Khandwa district administration actively publishes tenders and land acquisition notifications linked to various civic development works, indicating ongoing governmental efforts to enhance infrastructure.
The KMC has also approved a major project - the construction of a road from Shivaji Chowk to the station. Additionally, Bada Bam Chowk will undergo beautification for ₹32.45 lakh, which includes an entrance gate and plantation.
Another significant development will be the construction of the MR-13 road from Ramnagar to Bypass Road, which will cost ₹9.69 crores. The MR-12 road development, covering 4,450 metres, will cost ₹27.01 crores.
The funding granted to the KMC is a testament to the government's commitment to improving municipal infrastructure in Khandwa. For the most accurate, detailed, and up-to-date progress reports on KMC's infrastructure projects, consulting the official Khandwa district government website or direct municipal communication channels would be recommended.
The improvements are a result of the efforts and follow-up of Mayor Amrita Amar Yadav, who played a crucial role in securing this grant for the city's development. The KMC's infrastructure projects are expected to significantly improve the city's connectivity and overall aesthetic appeal, benefiting residents and visitors alike.
- The KMC's infrastructure projects, such as the enhancement of Jalebi Chowk to Dharm Kanta Road and the construction of roads from Shivaji Chowk to the station, aim to reduce crime by improving city connectivity.
- While the ongoing infrastructure projects in Khandwa are expected to boost the city's economy, sectors like the road construction industry and finance are likely to benefit directly from these developments.
