From 73.5 to 100 kilometre per day , India's road network grows every 24 hours.

Back in 2010 Kamal Nath's ambitious target of 20 km per day.

Building secular fabric of the nation is far more important than building useless roads

Building secular fabric of the nation is far more important than building useless roads

Road is never useless even if it leads to nowhere

Building Roads bridges Gaps in Society

Bridging Gaps in society brings social harmony

Social harmony strengthen Secular Fabric

Relax : Building roads won't hinder any of them

India is now(in recent months) building around 20 km highway every day compared to ' 5-6 km/day' 2 years back. Its expected to rise by 25+ km/day in next few month.

nice..... we need good wide road network if we wished to see our country as developed... I would still prefer highways to be widened that what it is now.

I didn't get your point. We all know china invests a lot in its infrastructure. What do you want to say?

Vajpayee govt started modern road building with the golden quadrilateral project. The effects of that also boosted growth figures during UPA 1.

Before that Congress was in power for 50 years and mainly built potholes edged with Tarmac.

Every country has different standard of statistics.
The definition of road is also different.
Most unpaved road or small lanes are not included in China's standards of roads.
We have a very strict guideline to classify expressways and class-1/2/3/4 highways.
Even the definition of expressways are different in different countries.
In China, expressways are totally control-accessed, but in India, most of their expressways are actually our class-1/2/3/4 highways, not really the standard expressways we usually refer to, which originated from Germany.
So, it's really meaningless to compare those numbers.

This explains how Indian road is calculated, only 130, 000km (2012 number) is "legit road" in China.

This document explains what type of village roads in China should be included in the total road mileage.

According to these criteria, this is not a "legit" village road, because it is neither "important in connecting two adjacent villages" nor "at least meet the standard of a class-4 highway".

This road is a "legit" village road, because it both meets the standard of a class-4 highway and plays an important role in connecting adjacent villages. Thus, this "legit" village road is given a number, marked every 1 km along the road.
(If u can't see this kind of mark along the road, it must be not a "legit" road)

The final case is a little bit complicated.
It is a "legit" road.
It is "important in connecting two adjacent villages", in fact the only road to the village down there.
Though, it does not meet the lowest standard of highways(class-4).
Still, it is maintained as a "legit" road", thus, you can see a lot of road signs in this photo.
These road signs show, who is responsible for maintenance, who is responsible for supervision, what kind of cars are allowed, how to report road damage, etc.

(first two sets of photos taken in County She, Anhui Province; the third set of photos taken in Jianchuan County, Yunnan Province)

I hope my explanation is explicit enough for you.


Anyway, Modi has achieved much more than his predecessors in terms of building "paved road", undoubtedly. And transportation is so important that he is definitely leading India on the right path.
