Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) is a Centrally Sponsored Scheme with the objective  to  provide  single  all - weather  road  connectivity  to  all  eligible  unconnected habitations,  existing  in  the  Core  Network,  in  rural  areas  of  country.  The  progr envi sages connecting all eligible unconnected habitations with a population of 500 pe and  above  (as  per  2001  Census)  in  plain  areas  and  250  persons  and  above  (as  per  2 Census)  in    Special  Category  States  (Arunachal  Pradesh,  Assam,  Manipur,  Meghalaya M izoram, Nagaland, Sikkim, Tripura Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir and Uttrakhand), Tribal  (Schedule - V)  areas,  the  Desert  Areas  (as  identified  in  Desert  Development Programme) and in Selected Tribal and Backward Districts   (as identified by the Minis of Home  Affairs/Planning  Commission).  The  PMGSY  permits  upgradation  (to  prescribed standards)  of  existing  rural  roads  in  districts  where  all  the  eligible  habitatio designated population size have been provided single all weather road connectivity. For most intensive  IAP  blocks  as  identified  by  the  Ministry  of  Home  Affairs  the  unconnec habitations  with  population  100  and  above  (as  per  2001  census)  would  be  eligible  t covered under PMGSY.

Under PMGSY, the unit of programme is a habitation a nd not a revenue village. A habitation is a cluster of population, living in an area, the location of which does not change Desam, Dhanis, Tolas, Majras, Hamlets, etc., are commonly used terminology to describe Habitations.  State/UT - wise  de tails  of  habitations  which  are  yet  to  be  connected  under PMGSY (upto June, 2016) are at Annexure - I .

Year- wise  and  State/UT - wise  details  of  habitations  connected,  funds  allocated  &  utiliz under PMGSY are at Annexure - II & III , respectively.

For  accelerat ed execution of PMGSY, the Ministry of Rural Development in consultation with the Ministry of Finance and the State governments, has formulated an Action Pla achieve the target of the Scheme early, with enhanced financial allocation to the St m odified funding pattern in the Scheme. The fund sharing pattern of PMGSY has been ma in the ratio of 60:40 between the Centre and States for all States except for 8 North and 3 Himalayan States for which it will be 90:10.  In view of the availabi lity of substantial additional funds under the Scheme with the new funding pattern between Centre and the S and enhanced allocation by the Government of India, all the States have been asked t approval for sanctions of balance works under PMGSY -I/ II as per the mandate of the Scheme and to substantially complete them by March, 2019, so as to provide connectivity to habitations. In order to accelerate the implementation and ensure time bound completi the Scheme in the States, the Governme nt has decided to provide substantial enhancement of allocation for PMGSY during the year 2015 - 16, making the total Annual Allocation of the States to Rs.23,806 crore (Rs 15,175.71 crore -Central Share and Rs. 8,631 crore -Matching State Share.  The Budge t Estimate (BE) for 2016 - 17  is  Rs.19,000  crore  and  an  additional State share of Rs.9,151 crore would come from the State. With the changed sharing pat the total annual financial inflows in this programme would be substantial.
