The suggested recommendations are based on the discussions with the villagers, local functionaries, expert observations, etc. with a view to increase the positive impacts and further propel the drive of development in the rural areas using roads as a catalyst / tool. They are as follows:

• There have been instances where the roads have been made, not through the popular or the preferred route, but through routes, which as per the villagers, are not very comfortable, or in frequent use by the villagers. So it is of utmost importance that the roads be made with due participation of the villagers during the survey of the roads.
• There have been instances that the full roads have not been made and the roads are left short of the main road by 2-3 kms as in the case of Beth upreli. If this link would have been provided then the villagers would have been tremendously benefited and the results would have accrued in a very short period. Infact if this link is made they will be close to Baijnath town, which can change the complexion of the whole village and it turning out to be a major supplier of essentials in Baijnath.
• There have also been instances where the contractors have not taken full care of protecting the roads from landslides by providing retaining walls on either side. This could be very dangerous and swipe the road during heavy rains.
• Some instances of misutilization of funds, by the contractors, have been brought up by the villagers, which has resulted in not meeting and fulfilling the quality standards, but getting cleared the full sanctions and payments.
• If we see from the indicators perspective that the roads can play a very important role in propelling the development in the villages, so it is of utmost importance to keep the roads intact for a sustainable period so that much more benefits accrue to the villagers. So proper maintenance of the roads should be done. Though the contractors have given the guarantee for next 5 years but then also a strict monitoring should be done so that the roads get the necessary maintenance in time.
• Further the roads should be made keeping in view of providing a link to the nearby town or market or important center which can have multifarious impacts on the lives of the people. The roads not only propel the development of the people but of the village as a whole.
• The roads have given a better understanding to the villagers of the benefits that can accrue to them and the roads have also played an important role in creating an awareness in them about how to better utilize their resources and take the benefit form it. In some of the villages it has become a lifeline by providing connection to the outer world. So it is of utmost importance that full care of the roads be taken and the villagers donot deteriorate the newly constructed roads by digging holes or tying the animals on these roads.
• A road protection committee should be made and given training so that they take proper care and inform the officials to take precautionary measures if they see any damage being done to the road.
• In Himachal Pradesh most of the villages which have been connected are having a wealth of forests and now the activity of tractors has increased which ply to carry the wood logs. Also the traffic is increasing as more and more people are buying vehicles, so it is of utmost importance that PWD officials ensure proper quality of construction and maintenance of roads.
• While doing the survey for making the roads one of the aspects that should also be kept in mind is the potential of the area which is being connected like heavy production of horticulture, floriculture or agriculture, because this will have a very high degree of impact on the villagers, village and the region as a whole as the link or connection opens up a gamut of opportunities for them, thus accelerating the growth, development and prosperity of area.
