Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana
Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana began in 2000.
Its purpose is to provide all-weather roads to rural areas.
Basic amenities like schools and hospitals have roads to connect them.
The government wants to cover all rural areas by 2019. Around 60 thousand villages remain left to be covered.
Government allocates a large amount of money every year for this programme.
Under the scheme, roads are built or improved.
Existing roads which are narrow and kutcha, are made bigger and broad with the pucca surfaces.
