UDAN 5.1 Scheme: It is a new version of UDAN Scheme for improving connectivity that aims to further improve connectivity to remote regions across the country by facilitating last-mile connectivity through helicopter services. UDAN 5.1 Scheme is also important for UPSC Prelims Exam and UPSC Mains Exam ( GS Paper 2- Various governance measures taken by the Union Government for development of various sectors).
After the successful implementation of four rounds of the Regional Connectivity Scheme (RCS) known as Ude Desh Ka Aam Nagrik (UDAN), and with the ongoing fifth round (UDAN 5.0), the Ministry of Civil Aviation has introduced UDAN 5.1.
The UDAN 5.1, new version, aims to further improve connectivity to remote regions across the country by facilitating last-mile connectivity through helicopter services. It may be mentioned that till date 46 helicopter routes have been operationalized under previous rounds of the scheme benefitting a number of hilly and North East states and this round is targeting coverage of a much larger number of routes. The main features include:
The latest round of UDAN scheme is a testament to two emerging phenomenon in Indian civil aviation – one, a deeper democratisation of air travel with a focus on last-mile connectivity. Second, a growing appetite for helicopters in aiding tourism. Greater helicopter penetration through such efforts will help boost tourism, hospitality, and thus, our local economies.
UDAN scheme full form: Ude Desh Ka Aam Naagrik is a Regional Connectivity Scheme (RCS) to ensure affordability, connectivity, growth and development.
Central Government would provide concessions in the form of reduced excise duty, service tax, and flexibility of code sharing at the RCS (UDAN) airports.
