Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana

The Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana or PMGSY is a nationwide plan in India to provide good all-weather road connectivity to unconnected villages
The goal was to provide roads to all villages

with a population of 1000 persons and above by 2003

with a population of 500 persons and above by 2007

in hill states, tribal and desert area villages with a population of 500 persons and above by 2003

in hill states, tribal and desert area villages with a population of 250 persons and above by 2007

In order to implement this, an Online Management & Monitoring System or OMMS GIS system was developed to identify targets and monitor progress.[7] It is developed by e-governance department of C-DAC pune and is one of the biggest databases in India. The system manages and monitors all the phases of road development right from its proposal mode to road completion. The OMMS also has separate module to track the expenses made on each road. Based on the data entered by state and district officers, OMMS generates detailed reports which are viewable in citizens section (omms.nic.in). OMMS incorporates advanced features like E-payment, Password protected PDF files, Interactive Reports etc.

It is under the authority of the Ministry of Rural Development and was begun on 25 December 2000. It is fully funded by the central government

After Bharat Mala and Sagar Mala,this project is aimed at improving road connectivity in border areas and coastal regions respectively .The government has now cleared plans to connect 100 of the 676 district headquarters in the country with world-class highways
Features

1.Development of 6,600 km of highways at an estimated cost of about Rs 60,000 crore.


2.Roads will be developed to connect 100 district headquarters across the country. 

3.The 6,600 km of national highways do not have uniform configuration across the length.These would be upgraded to ensure better connectivity,


The government has backed up this mega push for roads development projects with policy initiatives designed to facilitate resource mobilisation. The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) on Wednesday approved an exit policy permitting developers to exit highway projects two years after completion of construction to release locked-in equity as potential capital for future projects. Additionally, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has been authorised to loan resources from its corpus at a pre-determined rate of return to kickstart stalled projects. Earlier, the government cleared the Bharat Mala project aimed at developing 5,600 km of new roads in border areas at an estimated cost of Rs 56,000 crore. Another 4,700 km of roads to connect religious and tourism centres and to enhance connectivity in backward areas is expected to cost Rs 44,000 crore.
The third leg of the NDA government’s push to kickstart growth through mega road building projects is the development of bridges and rail overbridges under the Setu Bharatam scheme. “We will construct 202 ROBs and 150 bridges on national highways under the Setu Bharatam initiative,” said an official of MoRTH.
“We are awarding road projects at the pace of over 8,000 km every year. At this rate, we would achieve our targets by the end of next financial year. We are lining up new projects to have our infra plan ready,” said the official. Last year, the government awarded 7,900 km of highway projects, more than double the 3,170 km awarded in 2013-14. However, only 700 km are being executed under the public-private partnership mode on a build, operate, transfer (BOT) basis. These projects are to be completed over the next three years.
