• The Nagpur Plan, adopted in 1943, was a comprehensive road development plan for India. It classified roads into five categories:
-National Highways (NH): These are the main highways connecting major cities, ports, and state capitals. They are the primary road network for interstate travel and transportation of goods.
-State Highways (SH): These roads connect district headquarters and important towns within a state. They also link with national highways and roads of neighboring states.
-Major District Roads (MDR): These roads are important routes within a district, connecting areas of production and markets to each other and to major highways.
-Other District Roads (ODR): These roads serve rural areas, connecting villages to market centers, smaller towns, and higher-category roads.
-Village Roads (VR): These are the roads that connect villages to each other or to the nearest road of a higher category.
