The state government has earmarked ₹122.04 crore for the development of six airports under the UDAN (Ude Desh ka Aam Nagrik) scheme, a central government initiative to improve regional air connectivity. The funding will be used for runway upgrades, terminal construction, and other infrastructure enhancements across the selected airports. The decision is expected to create jobs, boost tourism, and facilitate easier travel for residents of remote districts. Officials say the project will be executed in phases, with the first phase targeting the most critical airports. The move aligns with the national goal of linking underserved areas to major hubs.
