@ Balance road length is less than the difference of sanctioned and completed length due to reduction in road length, change in alignment, construction of part length by other agencies, etc.

The details of the roads pending under various interventions/verticals of PMGSY can be accessed at omms.nic.in->proposals->State wise list of roads.

(b) to (d)    Construction of new roads for providing connectivity to the eligible unconnected habitations was the mandate of PMGSY-I. All the works have been sanctioned to the state under  PMGSY-I.  Since  the  timeline  for  completion  of  PMGSY-I  is  September,  2022  & projects have already been sanctioned for all the fesible target habitations, no fresh sanctions are being given under this scheme. Further, PMGSY-III is for consolidation of 1,25,000 Km Through  Routes  and  Major  Rural  Links  connecting  habitations,  inter-alia,  to  Gramin Agricultural Markets, Higher Secondary Schools and Hospitals. However, some stretches of road works which are track road are also taken up if they are  part of  the proposed Through Route or Major Rural Link Links  under PMGSY-III. Entire target of 12,362.5 km allocated to the state of Madhya Pradesh under PMGSY-III has been sanctioned by the Ministry. As of now,  no scheme under PMGSY is in operation for providing interlink paths, unless they are part of Through Routes or Major Rural Links as per the guidelines of PMGSY-III.
