District Plan: Inter-Village Road Construction Scheme on Contributory Basis continues to support farmers and sugar mills in Uttarakhand by improving inter-village road connectivity for sugarcane transport. The government provides a 75% grant for road construction projects, with the remaining 25% contributed by beneficiary institutions.
This scheme, managed by the Department of Sugarcane Development and Sugar Industry, government of Uttarakhand, helps make easier the movement of sugarcane from farms to purchasing centers and mills by upgrading road infrastructure in sugarcane-growing regions. By improving inter-village connectivity, the scheme makes sure that sugarcane reaches the mills while it is fresh, which minimizes losses for farmers. It is part of the broader District Plan, designed to help agricultural communities in building better transport links through collaborative funding.
