Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana
PMGSY
• Rural Road Connectivity is not only a key component of Rural Development by
promoting access to economic and social services and thereby generating
increased agricultural incomes and productive employment opportunities in
India, it is also as a result, a key ingredient in ensuring sustainable poverty
reduction. Notwithstanding the efforts made, over the years, at the State and
Central levels, through different Programmes, about 40% of the Habitations in
the country are still not connected by All-weather roads.
• It is well known that even where connectivity has been provided, the roads
y p ,
constructed are of such quality (due to poor construction or maintenance) that
they cannot always be categorized as All-weather roads.
Guided by Dr. R. M. Damgir • With a view to redressing the situation, Government have launched the Pradhan
Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana on 25th December, 2000 to provide all-weather
access to unconnected habitations. The Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana
(PMGSY) is a 100% Centrally Sponsored Scheme. 50% of the Cess on High
Represented by Rahul Agrawal Speed Diesel (HSD) is earmarked for this Programme.

PMGSY Basic cross section
• The primary objective of the PMGSY is to provide Connectivity, by way of an All-
weather Road (with necessary culverts and cross-drainage structures, which is
operable throughout the year), to the eligible unconnected Habitations in the rural
areas, in such a way that all Unconnected Habitations with a population of 1000
persons and above are covered in three years (2000-2003) and all Unconnected
Habitations with a population of 500 persons and above by the end of the Tenth
Plan Period (2007). In respect of the Hill States (North-East, Sikkim, Himachal
Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Uttaranchal) and the Desert Areas (as identified in the
Desert D l
D Development P Programme) as well as the Tribal (Schedule V) areas, the
) ll h T ib l (S h d l h
objective would be to connect Habitations with a population of 250 persons and
above.
• The PMGSY will permit the Upgradation (to prescribed standards) of the existing
roads in those Districts where all the eligible Habitations of the designated
population size (refer Para 2.1 above) have been provided all-weather road
connectivity. However, it must be noted that Upgradation is not central to the
Programme and cannot exceed 20% of the State’s allocation as long as eligible
Unconnected Habitations in the State still exist. In Upgradation works, priority
should be given to Through Routes of the Rural Core Network, which carry more
traffic (see Para 3.7 below)
