(d): Rural road is a State Subject and the PMGSY scheme is being implemented as a one-time intervention to provide rural connectivity to the eligible habitation as per the details laid out in the programme guidelines. In this scheme, the unit for this programme is habitation and not revenue village or  Panchayat.  A  habitation  is  a  cluster  of population living in an area, the location of which does not change over time. Desam, Dhanis, Tolas, Majras, Hamlets etc., are commonly used terminology to describe the habitations.
