The “Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana” (PMGSY) focuses on connecting eligible unconnected rural habitations with all-weather roads.
Launched in December 2000, PMGSY is a centrally sponsored scheme aimed at providing good all-weather road connectivity to unconnected villages in rural areas of India. Its primary objective is to build new roads and upgrade existing ones to ensure seamless connectivity.
While related to rural infrastructure, PMGSY specifically targets road connectivity. Schemes like BharatNet (broadband), Saubhagya (electrification), and various skill development programs address the other areas mentioned in the options, but PMGSY’s core focus is rural roads.
