Q. Recently, which organization successfully utilized the REJUPAVE road construction technology in Ladakh under Project Vijayak?
Answer:
Border Roads Organisation (BRO)
Notes: In Ladakh, the BRO's Project Vijayak used REJUPAVE technology, developed by CSIR-CRRI, to build high-altitude bituminous roads on the Drass-Umbala-Sankoo Road in Drass, the world's second coldest inhabited place. REJUPAVE, made from biomass and renewable resources, reduces heating needs and maintains temperature during transit. Previously, it was used in the Sela road tunnel and LDY road section near Arunachal Pradesh's China border at 18,000 feet.
