The government has announced plans to construct 9,344 kilometres of rural roads in Uttarakhand as part of the fourth phase of the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana.
The Ministry of Rural Development has unveiled a new development plan for Uttarakhand, earmarking 9,344 kilometres of rural roads for construction under the fourth phase of the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY). The initiative aims to enhance connectivity between remote villages and main highways, thereby improving access to markets, schools, and health facilities.
PMGSY-IV focuses on building all-weather roads that can withstand the region’s hilly terrain and heavy monsoon rainfall. The project will involve both paved and unpaved stretches, with a mix of concrete and bitumen surfaces as per local topography.
Officials say the new roads will not only boost economic activity but also reduce travel time for residents in the state’s mountainous districts. The scheme is part of a broader national effort to provide last‑mile connectivity to every village across India.
The state government has pledged to collaborate with central agencies and local bodies to ensure timely execution. Detailed timelines and funding allocations are expected to be released in the coming weeks.
