Rural Roads Targeted Under PMGSY in FY27

The Centre reviewed rural road progress and targeted completion of over 26,000 km of rural roads during FY 2026-27.

The Ministry of Rural Development reviewed the progress of rural road works with states. The review focused on accelerating implementation under rural connectivity programmes, especially PMGSY. Rural roads are important for market access, service delivery, education, health access and rural livelihoods. The target is exam-relevant because PMGSY is one of India’s most important rural infrastructure schemes.
