Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana

Also called PMGSY

The Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana is run by the Ministry of Rural Development. It is for unconnected rural habitations to fund all-weather roads. Beneficiaries receive an all-weather road, with culverts and cross-drainage, linking the habitation to the road network. There is no individual application, as states identify eligible habitations and send proposals for sanction.
