Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana
The Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) is an initiative launched by the Government of India in 2000. Its primary goal is to provide all-weather road connectivity to unconnected villages, enhancing rural infrastructure and promoting economic development. By improving access to markets, education, and healthcare, the scheme aims to uplift the living standards of people in rural areas.
Under this program, the government allocates funds to state governments for the construction and maintenance of rural roads. The focus is on connecting remote villages to the main road network, ensuring that even the most isolated communities can benefit from development and opportunities.
