Infrastructure Explosion in Nana Pondha! ₹18 Crore Mega-Road Overhaul to End Rural Isolation; MLA Jitu Chaudhary Launches Strategic Bridges and Highways! (2026)
The Kaprada-Nana Pondha Connectivity Revolution
The hilly and remote terrains of Kaprada and Nana Pondha are set for a massive economic face-lift. In a significant boost to tribal area infrastructure, MLA Jitu Chaudhary officially laid the foundation stones for a series of development projects totaling ₹18 crore on Friday. This massive investment aims to replace aging dirt tracks with high-quality asphalt roads and modern bridges, ensuring that even the farthest hamlets stay connected to the mainstream economy in 2026.
The ₹18 Crore Blueprint: Mapping the Progress
The funds have been meticulously divided to address both road connectivity and monsoon-resilient infrastructure.
- Asphalt Road Network: A dedicated ₹5.60 crore (₹560 lakh) has been allocated for the first phase of internal village roads. These roads will use high-grade bitumen to withstand the heavy rainfall typical of the Kaprada region.
- The Lifesaving Minor Bridge: A major portion of the remaining funds is directed toward a new Minor Bridge. This bridge is crucial for ensuring that village routes remain open during the peak monsoon season when small rivulets often cut off entire communities.
- Target Audience: The project specifically benefits local farmers transporting produce, students attending schools in town, and emergency medical services.
Groundbreaking Ceremony: Leadership in Action
The foundation stone-laying (Khatmuhurt) was a high-profile event attended by technical experts and political leaders:
| Key Attendee | Role / Designation |
| Jitu Chaudhary | MLA, Kaprada Constituency |
| Viral Patel | Executive Engineer, Road & Building (R&B) Dept |
| Vipul Bhoya | BJP President (District/Taluka) |
| Mangubhai & Rameshbhai Ganvit | Local Tribal Leaders |
MLA Jitu Chaudhary addressed the gathering, stating, “Connecting the interior villages to the main highways is our top priority. These ₹18 crore projects are just the beginning of a transformation that will eliminate ‘pothole-politics’ and bring speed to our rural economy.”
Economic Impact: Why This Matters
For the residents of Nana Pondha, these roads are more than just tar and gravel; they are “Economic Arteries.”
- Market Access: Farmers can now transport perishable forest produce to Valsad and Vapi markets much faster.
- Education: School vans and buses can safely navigate deep into the faliyas.
- Real Estate & Trade: Improved roads usually lead to an appreciation of land value and the opening of new roadside small businesses.
Note to R&B Dept: The MLA has issued strict instructions to the Road & Building Department to ensure the thickness and quality of the asphalt meet the 2026 durability standards.
Looking Ahead
As the heavy machinery moves in, the residents of Nana Pondha anticipate a future where “monsoon isolation” is a thing of the past. The administration expects these projects to be completed before the onset of the 2026 monsoon.
