The Indian government is planning to expand its Pradhan Mantri Grameen Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) rural road scheme, aiming to connect even the remotest villages and spur economic growth. The proposed expansion will include villages with populations as low as 300-400 people, a significant change from the current minimum of 500. The scheme is expected to be included in the upcoming union budget and could be implemented as a separate program or as part of PMGSY IV. Experts believe that improved road connectivity will benefit rural communities by enhancing market access, creating employment opportunities, and ultimately contributing to economic growth.
