Rural roads
contribute significantly to generating increased agricultural incomes and productive
employment opportunities, alongside promoting access to economic and social
services. Rural Roads are the virtual lifelines for the vast multitude residing in rural
areas.
Bangladesh is having high density of roads predominantly earthen in nature. However
the paved road network in the country has increased steadily since independence in
1971 from 3600 km to 65000 km currently. It is evident that the improvement of rural
road network has underpinned the economic growth, business and employment
opportunities and agricultural production of the country Keeping in view the socioeconomic benefits accruing from providing road connectivity to the rural level, there is a
need to impart greater thrust to providing road connectivity.
