Before discussing the PMGSY scheme, let me go in brief about how this scheme has evolved.
Bharat Nirman: Our former President A.P.J.Abdul Kalam on 25th February 2005 announced a plan for rural hood development programme called Bharat Nirman. The Finance Minister in the Budget session of same year discussed for the development of Rural Roads one of the six components of Bharat Nirman. From this the PMGSY scheme came into action.
What is PMGSY scheme?
Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadhak Yojana scheme is a 100% Central Sponsered scheme launched on 25th December, 2000. The main aim of the scheme is to provide all-weather roads to rural areas of the country.
What is the target of this scheme?
The program connects all habitations with a population of 500 and above in plain areas and 250 and above in hilly areas. Recently, Left Wing Extremist affected areas are also included in this scheme. Besides connecting these areas, the Government is intended to develop the socio-economic conditions of these people. The program takes care of Building/Upgradation of the roads in these regions.
Who will handle this scheme?
National Rural Road Development Agency(NRRDA) is responsible for handling this project and State Rural Road Development Agency(SRRDA) is created as rural road program belongs to the State matter.
