An Empirical Study on Impact Assessment of Road Widening Dr. Gupta Meenakshi1, Sharma Ajay kumar2 1Assistant Professor, Department of Economics, Shri Mata Vaishno Devi University, Katra 2Research Scholar, Department of Economics, Shri Mata Vaishno Devi University, Katra Online published on 20 April, 2017. Abstract Infrastructure development projects can have both negative and positive impacts on the local residents. Though in due course of time this brings benefits to society but sometimes it is disruptive to people whose land is acquired. The present study is an empirical study on impact assessment of road widening on the local community residing along the national highway number-44(from nagrota to jajjarkotli) in the state of Jammu & Kashmir. The study has focused on the affected households due to the widening of road (NH-44). The study has found that the socio-economic status of families has been adversely affected due to the lack of policy loopholes in implementation as well as limited provision of any financial support and lack of training for sustaining their income level from government side. In addition to this there is lot of gaps in resettlement options promised and actually provided. Top Keywords Economic development, Infrastructure, Roads, Impact assesment. Top | |
