No Sir, the Government has not issued any new guidelines for identification of villages and selection of roads for implementation of Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY).
PMGSY was launched in 2000 with the objective to provide a single all-weather road connectivity to all eligible unconnected habitations, existing in the Core Network, in rural areas of the country. The programme envisages connecting all eligible unconnected habitations with a population of 500 persons and above (as per 2001 Census) in plain areas and 250 persons and above (as per 2001 Census) in Special Category States (Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim,Tripura Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir and Uttarakhand), Tribal (Schedule-V) areas, the Desert Areas (as identified in Desert Development Programme) and in Selected Tribal and Backward Districts (as identified by the Ministry of Home Affairs/Planning Commission). The PMGSY permits upgradation (to prescribed standards) of existing rural roads in districts where all the eligible habitations of the designated population size have been provided all weather road connectivity. For most intensive IAP blocks as identified by the Ministry of Home Affairs the unconnected habitations with population 100 and above (as per 2001 Census) would be eligible to be covered under PMGSY.
Since inception of the PMGSY, (upto December, 2016) project proposals of the value of Rs. 209,447.71 crore for connecting 1,56,273 habitations, have been sanctioned by the Ministry, against which the Ministry has released Rs.145,184.60 Crore.
