In this article, we discuss the founding of different research paper published so far using Coir across the globe in road construction. Coir is widely being used for a period of time in construction of pavements as a soil reinforcer. It is environment-friendly, biodegradable and sustainable hence does not poses any problem of disposal. The present study predominantly focuses on the utilization of coir improving the strength properties of lime balanced out sub-grade soil and then its cost benefits in designing flexible pavement for rural roads. Soil sub-grade is a key component of pavement, as they have to finally bear the burden coming over the pavement. Taking everything into account, the soil sub-grade should not be overemphasized at whatever point. The construction of streets in a large portion of the spots across the country is confronted with serious issues because of weak sub-grade soil. This Chapter includes the critical studies on the use of lime, coir and other filaments in the development of soil subgrade. The behaviour of fibre-reinforced soil and how it meets the need for lime addition and other industrial wastes has also been studied. In this article, we discuss
