The Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) was launched in 2000. The programme received a major boost in 2005 when the Government of India (GOI) integrated PMGSY into its Bharat Nirman Programme. Bharat Nirman is a flagship GOI effort to improve rural infrastructure.

Using government data, this brief reports on PMGSY progress along the following parameters: a) Overall trends in allocation and expenditure, b) State-wise progress on road works completed, and c) Overall progress in ensuring rural connectivity.

Keywords: rural roads, infrastructure, PMGSY, Bharat Nirman, India, rural connectivity, spending, GOI
