The central government has approved the construction of 9,344 kilometres of rural roads in Uttarakhand under the fourth phase of the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana.
The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways announced that 9,344 kilometres of rural roads will be constructed across Uttarakhand under the fourth phase of the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY‑IV). The scheme, launched in 2000, aims to provide all-weather road connectivity to habitations with populations of 500 and above in hilly states.
State officials said the new stretch will be executed through a combination of central funding and state contributions, with the Uttarakhand Public Works Department overseeing on‑ground implementation.
The project is expected to link remote villages to market centres, health facilities and schools, thereby boosting economic activity and improving access to essential services in the mountainous region.
While the exact timeline has not been disclosed, the government has pledged regular monitoring to ensure timely completion and quality standards.
