Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY)

The Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) is an initiative launched by the Government of India in December 2000. Its primary objective is to provide all-weather road connectivity to unconnected villages and areas across the country. The scheme prioritizes regions with a population of 500 in plain areas and 250 in hilly or tribal regions. By improving rural road infrastructure, PMGSY aims to enhance socio-economic development in rural regions, facilitating increased access to markets, schools, and healthcare. Over the years, the program has played a pivotal role in boosting rural connectivity and fostering inclusive growth.
