The PMGSY focuses on providing a single all-weather road to each of the eligible habitations with a population of 500 persons and above (Census 2001). This will enable better access to markets, healthcare facilities, education institutions, and other essential services for the rural population.
As Phase IV of PMGSY gets underway, it will be interesting to see the progress made and the benefits that accrue to the rural population.
