Development and planning of State Highways (SHs) in the region is being done by the concerned State Governments/Union Territory Administration.
Ministry of Civil Aviation, Government of India in 2016 has launched RCS-UDAN (Regional Connectivity Scheme - Ude Desh ka Aam Naagrik) scheme, whose primary objective is to facilitate/stimulate regional air connectivity by making it affordable.
