But, have you seen, or even heard of jute roads?</p> <p>A research centre in Calcutta, the National Institute of Research on Jute and Allied Fibre Technology (NIRJAFT), is planning to make a road with jute. It will be 24 kilometres long.</p> <figure class="image-medium has-caption"> <a href="https://www.pitara.com/media/eureka-85_1.jpg" aria-label="Link to larger image"> <img src="https://www.pitara.com/media/eureka-85_1_hu_cec32e518c96a42.jpg" srcset="https://www.pitara.com/media/eureka-85_1_hu_1baf19cb449d6e8.jpg 320w, https://www.pitara.com/media/eureka-85_1_hu_cec32e518c96a42.jpg 900w" sizes="(min-width: 900px) 900px, 320px" alt="Road of Jute [Illustration by Nitin Vishwakarma]" height="562" width="900" loading="lazy"> </a> <figcaption>Road of Jute [Illustration by Nitin Vishwakarma]</figcaption> </figure> <p>The scientists at the centre say the road will be stronger than normal roads. They can talk with such confidence because they have tried it out earlier. And, the road they made was indeed stronger. It did not develop holes after the monsoons got over.</p>
