FMR component is aimed at improving critical road linkage for the supported value chains for linking the production areas to valley roads and main roads. The sub-component will finance upgrading of 700 km of shingle compacted roads. Existing pony tracks will be upgraded to jeep able roads (40% of total) and jeep able roads will be upgraded to truckable roads (60% of total). In addition, a lump sum provision of 220 meters of bridges would be made. Wherever any additional land/right of way is involved, that would be the government and community responsibility. Completion of roads will be aligned with development of value chains in various areas and land development under irrigation component.
