already happened across various sub-sectors of infrastructure including, roads,
airports, ports, power and urban utilities and we have made some progress
however much remain to be achieved to sustain and enhance economic growth.
Eastern India can be the flag bearer in many sectors of
Indian economic growth in next decade. This would require a roadmap for
development of excellent physical infrastructure in Eastern India – power
generation and distribution, railways, roads, ports and airports.
