To ensure rural development, rural connectivity must be ensured. With this aim, Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana was launched in the year 2000. It is a 100% centrally sponsored scheme under Ministry of Rural Development.
The primary objective of the scheme is to provide connectivity via all-weather roads to the unconnected habitations in rural areas with population of 500 persons or more.
Mostly maintenance and poor quality of construction have been an issue. Proper maintenance and scientific standards should be adopted for redressal.
