According to the bank website, "the Second Rural Connectivity Investment Program will improve about 12,000 kilometers (km) of rural roads in the states of Assam, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, and West Bengal. To meet the development priorities of the state of Madhya Pradesh, the Madhya Pradesh Rural Road Development Authority (MPRRDA) carried out advanced project preparation for tranche 2 of the MFF and obtained the Ministry of Rural Development approval for ADB financing on 30 January 2018. The government proposed that tranche 2 cover only Madhya Pradesh and finance the upgrading of at least 2,800 km rural roads in the state of Madhya Pradesh. In addition, it will support the training of 500 Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) engineers and will support road safety audits on the project roads."

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF ADB

The Accountability Mechanism is an independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who believe they are likely to be, or have been, adversely affected by an Asian Development Bank-financed project. If you submit a complaint to the Accountability Mechanism, they may investigate to assess whether the Asian Development Bank is following its own policies and procedures for preventing harm to people or the environment. You can learn more about the Accountability Mechanism and how to file a complaint at: http://www.adb.org/site/accountability-mechanism/main
