Development Jackpot in Khergam! ₹12.60 Lakh Projects to Transform Village Roads and Infrastructure; Foundation Stones Laid for Better Rural Connectivity!
Khergam Development Sprint (January 2026)
The transformation of Khergam Taluka in Navsari district has hit high gear with the official launch of multiple development projects worth ₹12.60 lakh. Focused on “Jan Sukhakari” (Public Welfare), these projects aim to upgrade village lanes, religious sites, and drainage systems that have been pending for a long time. The local administration’s move to start work in early 2026 has brought a wave of cheer to residents who have navigated dusty and muddy tracks for years.
Project Blueprint: Where will the ₹12.60 Lakh be spent?
The funds have been strategically allocated to address the specific needs of different faliyas (neighborhoods), focusing on two primary areas: Paver Blocks for internal lanes and Asphalt (Damar) Roads for connectivity.
I. Paver Block Installations (Focused on Community Areas)
- Religious Sites: Upgrading the surroundings of the Muslim Kabrastan (Cemetery) and the Vhora Samaj Kabrastan.
- Residential Lanes: Systematic paving of the Muslim Mohalla (Chikhli Road) and Khergam Desai Vad.
II. New Asphalt (Damar) Roads
- Khakhari Faliya: Construction of high-quality asphalt roads near the residences of Thakorbhai Ahir and Kalpeshbhai Patel.
III. Essential Drainage Infrastructure
- Dadri Faliya: Construction of a new Nala (Culvert/Drain) near the home of Miteshbhai Rathod to prevent waterlogging during the upcoming monsoon season.
Dignitaries at the Groundbreaking Ceremony
The foundation stone-laying (Khatmuhurt) was performed amidst the presence of key political figures of the Khergam BJP and Taluka administration:
| Name | Designation / Role |
| Rajeshbhai Patel | President, Khergam Taluka Panchayat |
| Bhikhubhai Ahir | Former District Panchayat President |
| Shaileshbhai Taylor | Vice President, BJP |
| Chetan Patel | General Secretary |
| Vijay Rathod | General Secretary |
Impact: Why This Matters for Khergam
The completion of these works is expected to significantly improve the quality of life in rural Navsari.
- Monsoon Resilience: New asphalt roads and drainage culverts will solve the perennial problem of waterlogging and mud-clogged streets.
- Enhanced Connectivity: Smoother internal roads mean better access for school vans, milk tankers, and emergency vehicles.
- Community Dignity: Paving the areas around community sites like cemeteries ensures cleaner surroundings during social and religious gatherings.
The Bigger Picture
This local initiative follows a massive ₹15.92 crore development push in Khergam earlier this month by Tribal Development Minister Nareshbhai Patel. The government’s focus on “Antyodaya” (serving the last person) is evident in these small but impactful projects that directly touch the lives of the villagers.
