Rural Roads is a State subject. Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY-I) was launched as a one-time special intervention to provide rural connectivity, by way of a single all-weather road, to the eligible unconnected habitations of designated population size (500+ in plain areas and 250+ in North-Eastern States, Himalayan States, Himalayan Union Territories, certain other specified areas as per 2001 census) in the core network for uplifting the socio-economic condition of the rural population.

The mandate of PMGSY was subsequently widened to include new intervention. PMGSY-II was launched in the year 2013, with a target to upgrade 50,000 Kms of the existing rural road network. Road Connectivity Project for Left Wing Extremism Affected Areas (RCPLWEA) was launched in the year 2016 for construction/ upgradation of strategically important roads chosen in the 44 worst affected LWE districts and adjoining districts in the 9 States. PMGSY-III was launched in the year 2019 for consolidation of 1,25,000 Km Through Routes and Major Rural Links connecting habitations to Gramin Agricultural Markets (GrAMs), Higher Secondary Schools and Hospitals among the others.

All the projects under PMGSY-I & II have already been sanctioned to the States/UTs. Under RCPLWEA, all the works have been sanctioned except 4 bridges of Maharashtra. Under PMGSY-III, against allocated target of 1,25,000 Km, the Ministry has so far sanctioned 91,371 Km. The status of implementation of PMGSY-I, II, III and RCPLWEA as on 15.12.2022 is given below:-
