PRADHAN MANTRI GRAM SADAK YOJANA (PMGSY) (Connectivity + Upgradation)


1.0 INTRODUCTION:-

Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana is a scheme fully sponsored by Govt. of India. This scheme falls under the Ministry of Rural Development (MORD), Govt. of India (National Rural Road Development Agency) & is implemented by respective states. This scheme envisages imparting all weather road connectivity to unconnected habitations of 500 & above population in normal area & 250 & above population in tribal / hilly area. About 3,50,478 habitations in the country & 7420 habitations in Gujarat were unconnected (i.e. without all weather road) at the start of the scheme. Habitations of 500 & above population with WBM road connectivity (with no bituminous surfacing) in the district may be considered for up-gradation in PMGSY if that district has achieved full connectivity for 500 & above population. The fund Corpus is created from part of the amount collected from the cess being levied on sale of diesel. The annual allocation to the state is mainly based on the backwardness in terms of connectivity of each State.
