Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) was launched on 25th December 2000 as a fully funded Centrally Sponsored Scheme to provide all weather road connectivity in rural areas of the country. The programme envisages connecting all habitations with a population of 500 persons and above in the plain areas and 250 persons and above in hill States, the tribal and the desert areas. It is under the authority of the Ministry of Rural Development and was begun on 25 December 2000. It is fully funded by the central government. Under PMGSY-I, 1, 78,184 unconnected habitations were identified. However, in 15 years of implementation so far, 1, 12,550 habitations (63%) have been connected with PMGSY roads. The States are yet to complete the roads to provide connectivity to about 37% of habitations as per the mandate of the Scheme.
The Government has reduced the target date by three years from 2022 to 2019 to achieve complete rural connectivity through all-weather roads under Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY). The annual allocation of the Central release for PMGSY works during year 2015-16 also has been increased by 5,000 crore rupees. With this, the total Central allocation to states under PMGSY would now be 15,100 crore rupees. By providing enhanced financial allocation through a modified funding pattern in the PMGSY scheme, Government is seeking to accelerate the implementation of rural connectivity. It is also considering giving financial incentives to the states achieving the targets allocated to them under the PMGSY.
