National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) has sanctioned a loan of Rs 204.67 crore under Rural Infrastructure Development Fund (RIDF) for rural infrastructure in Haryana.
Stating this here today, a spokesman said out of the total loan sanctioned, Rs 147.18 crore have been sanctioned to the State Government under the 22nd Tranche of RIDF for 2016-17 for construction of three rural bridges, construction and upgradation of 26 rural roads in 10 districts namely Ambala, Faridabad, Gurgaon, Hisar, Jind, Karnal, Mahendergarh, Panchkula, Rewari and Yamunanagar, and Rs 57.49 crore for a 10 MW Photo Voltaic Solar Power Plant at Panipat Thermal Power Station (PTPS), Panipat.
He said that the aggregate length of the proposed three rural bridges is 329.20 metre and that of proposed 26 rural roads in 10 districts is 184.78 km.
