Correct Answer: Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY)
 


Solution : The correct answer is (b) Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY)

Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) is a flagship program launched by the Government of India to provide all-weather road connectivity to rural areas. It aims to improve the accessibility of remote villages by connecting them with a well-maintained road network.

PMGSY focuses on the construction and upgradation of rural roads, including bridges and culverts, to enhance connectivity and promote economic and social development in rural areas. The program gives priority to areas with a high population, unconnected habitations, and areas with strategic and socio-economic significance.

Through PMGSY, the government aims to ensure that all eligible and feasible habitations are connected by all-weather roads. It emphasizes the use of appropriate and sustainable technologies, community participation, and the involvement of local contractors and laborers in road construction activities.
