Abstract

Rural road connectivity is a key component of rural development, since it promotes access to economic and social services thereby generating increased agricultural income and productive employment opportunities in rural India. As a part of its poverty reduction strategy and to bring about rapid sustainable development and socio-economic transformation in rural India, and to synergize the various schemes being implemented across the districts of the country, Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) was launched by the Government of India to provide rural road connectivity to hitherto unconnected rural habitation. The connectivity provided by the PMGSY roads to unconnected habitations has resulted in an all-round improvement in the life of the rural population.
