The  details  of  works  sanctioned, completed and balance in the districts of Maharashtra under various interventions  of  PMGSY,  since  inception  till  date,  are  given  at Annexure-II.

- (e) & (f): The  primary  objective  of  PMGSY-IV  is  to  provide  allweather road connectivity to about 25,000 unconnected habitations of population size 500+ in plains, 250+ in Hill States/ UTs and NorthEastern  Region  (NER),  Special  Category  Areas  (Tribal  Schedule-V Areas, Desert Areas, Aspirational Blocks/ Districts) and 100+ in LWE affected Districts (areas notified by MHA) in 9 States as per Census 2011.

To  ensure  inclusive  and  equitable  access  in backwards and marginalized areas, PMGSY-IV is being implemented in convergence with two flagship inclusion-focused initiatives, namely: (i) Dharti Aaba Janjatiya Gram Utkarsh Abhiyan (DA-JGUA): Habitations with 500+ population and 50% or more ST population, or habitations with 50+ ST population in the 250+ category in Aspirational  Districts,  as  per  Census  2011,  are  given  priority  under PMGSY IV; (ii)   Pradhan  Mantri  Anusuchit  Jaati  Abhyuday  Yojana  (PM-AJAY): Habitations with 500+ population and 40% or more SC population are given priority under PMGSY-IV. At present the PMGSY IV guidelines are continued as such. ******

(*) All balance length are at various stage of execution. Balance road length is less than the difference of sanctioned and completed length due  to  the  reasons  that  some  projects  were  completed  with  less  than  the  sanctioned  length  due  to  reduction  in  road  length,  change  in alignment, construction of part length by other agencies, etc.
