Introduction
On 15th Aug 2005 the Prime Minister announced the Pradhanmantri
Gram Sadak Yojna (PMGSY) as a 100% centrally sponsored scheme with
the objective of connecting every village by all weather road
through India by the year 2007.
The primary objective of PMGSY is to provide connectivity to the
unconnected habitations in the rural area by way of all weather
road (with necessary culverts and cross drainage structure).
Habitations with a population of 1000 persons and above were to be
covered in the first three years (2000-03) and all unconnected
habitations with a population of 500 persons and above were
targeted to be connected by the end of the Tenth plan period
(2007).
