The  road connectivity component under PM-JANMAN is being implemented by the  Department  of  Rural  Development  as  a  vertical  of  Pradhan Mantri  Gram  SadakYojana  (PMGSY)  with  an  objective  to  provide road  connectivity  to  Particularly  Vulnerable  Tribal  Groups  (PVTG) beneficiaries by relaxing the population criteria up to 100 from the existing 500+ in plain areas and 250+ in NE & Hilly states. A target of 8000 Km with an outlay of ₹ 8000 crore has been allocated under this  component  with  a  cost  ceiling  of  Rs  1.0  crore/  km  by  the Ministry  of  Tribal  Affairs  (MoTA),  which  is  the  administrative  incharge for PM-JANMAN.

In the State of Andhra Pradesh, a  total  of  303  road  works  of  865.954  km  of  road  length  and  33 bridges have been sanctioned with a cost of ₹ 914.44 crore, out of which 14 roads of length 66.614 Km with the cost of ₹ 29.77 crore have been completed. State-wise progress under PM-JANMAN is at Annexure-I.

As on date,  no  proposal  received  under  PM-JANMAN  from the  district  of Anakapalli in the State of Andhra Pradesh.

District-wise details of projects sanctioned under PMJANMAN may be accessed at the programme website https://pmgsy.dord.gov.in/ ->Progress Monitoring -> Monthly Progress Reports ->State MPR abstract Report.
