Rural connectivity projects in North Eastern States
Ministry has taken a number of initiatives under PMGSY to take into account special concerns of the North-Eastern States and tribal areas of other states
Rural Roads is a State subject and Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana  is 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  in the core network for uplifting the socio-economic condition of the rural population. Relaxation has been provided to the Desert Areas , the Tribal  areas and Selected Tribal and Backward Districts and unconnected habitations in these areas with a population of 250 persons and above in the Core Network as per Census 2001 are eligible for connectivity under the scheme. In the critical Left-Wing Extremism affected blocks , additional relaxation has been given to connect habitations with population 100 persons and above as per 2001 census
The Ministry has taken a number of initiatives under PMGSY to take into account special concerns of the North-Eastern States and tribal areas of other states. Following dispensations have been provided: -
 As against project cost sharing of 60:40 between centre and states in plain areas, the sharing pattern is 90:10 for states of North-Eastern states.
 On road portions subjected to heavy snow fall or landslides, where regular snow or debris clearance is done over long period to keep the road open to traffic, roadway width may be increased by 1.5 m up to 7.5 m.
 States have been allowed to provide adequate length of cement concrete drains along slopes to reduce the damage to roads.
 States have been allowed to provide requisite number of protection structures and cross drainage works keeping in view the terrain, snow fall and deposition of snow in high altitudes areas.
 The Ministry has agreed to share the cost of bridges up to 100 m length, as against 75 m in plain areas. Under PMGSY-III, the limit has been extended to 200 m, against 150 m for plain areas.
The State-wise details of the length of roads constructed and habitations connected during last three years and current year are given at Annexure.
