Goyal, who also holds the portfolios of consumer affairs, food and public distribution and textiles, was addressing a national workshop in New Delhi on PM GatiShakti to mark the first anniversary of the rollout of the National Master Plan, an official release said.
Goyal said PM GatiShakti is increasingly being used in the social sector for better infrastructure development, thereby, taking fruits of technology to every citizen of the country and improving ease of life for the common man.
PM GatiShakti would help bring in balanced, inclusive, equitable development in the country by helping remote areas, especially those in the North East, undertake integrated infrastructure planning and close development gaps, he added.
Through the mechanism of the National Master Plan, 197 critical infrastructure gap projects have been identified and examined in sectors like steel, coal and fertiliser to improve logistics efficiency. Over 1,300 inter-ministerial issues were resolved in the 11 months.
The minister also launched the Logistics Ease Across Different States (LEADS) 2022 survey report, which would assist the PM GatiShakti National Master Plan and the National Logistics Policy (NLP) to perform a network mapping of logistics infrastructure, services and regulatory environment enabling state governments to identify and fill gaps and achieve data-driven multimodal connectivity.
