Explanation
Bharatmala Pariyojana is an umbrella program for the highways sector launched by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) to optimize freight and passenger movement across India. All three statements are core components of the project:
- Border and International Connectivity Roads: The scheme includes the construction of approximately 2,000 km of roads to improve connectivity to border areas and enhance trade with neighboring countries.
- Coastal and Port Connectivity Roads: About 2,000 km of roads are designated for development along the coast and to provide better connectivity to ports, complementing the Sagarmala project.
- National Corridors Efficiency Improvement: This component focuses on de-bottlenecking and improving the efficiency of existing National Corridors (like the Golden Quadrilateral and NS-EW Corridors) through lane expansion, construction of flyovers, and bypasses.
Since all three objectives are integral parts of the Bharatmala Pariyojana, Option D is correct.
