ambitious nationwide infrastructure pipeline targeting an investment of Rs.111 lakh crores over 5 years

population of the country moves towards cities, with metropolitan migration continuing unabated, it is anticipated that within the next ten
years, 40 percent of the country's population would be living in cities.This implies that we would be needing a size equivalent to a
brand-new Chicago city every year to take care of the big population accumulation due to this urban migration
It is therefore crucial that we spend the budget with a thrust on the urban improvement techniques, in addition to some policies which are
currently in place such as AMRUT, Smart Cities, etc
