Q1Under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana, which unit is treated as the basic beneficiary for providing all-weather road connectivity?
The correct answer is an eligible unconnected habitation, meaning a stable settlement cluster such as a dhani, tola, majra or hamlet. The programme provides all-weather road access to that habitation; it does not treat an individual, revenue village or gram panchayat as its basic unit and offers no cash benefit.
Q2What is the road-length target under Phase IV of the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana for providing new all-weather connectivity to about 25,000 unconnected habitations?
Phase IV, approved for FY 2024-25 to 2028-29, aims to provide 62,500 km of all-weather roads, along with required bridges, to about 25,000 eligible unconnected habitations. The other figures belong to the habitation count or to the separate road-length targets of Phases II and III.
Q3Consider the following statements about the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana: 1. At least 15% of each State's annual road length must use green or new technologies. 2. The construction contractor maintains a road for the first 5 years, while the State maintains it for the next 5 years. 3. Phase IV provides 100% central construction funding to Union Territories without a legislature. Which of the statements given above are correct?
All three statements are correct. The programme requires at least 15% of each State's annual proposed road length to use green or new technologies. Maintenance lasts 10 years, split between the contractor for the first 5 and the State for the next 5. Under Phase IV, construction in Union Territories without a legislature is fully centrally funded.
Q4Match the following phases of the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana with their principal focus: 1. Phase I—new all-weather connectivity to eligible unconnected habitations; 2. Phase II—upgradation and consolidation of selected through routes and major rural links; 3. Phase III—upgradation of routes connecting habitations to rural agricultural markets, higher secondary schools and hospitals. Which of the above pairs are correctly matched?
All three pairs are correctly matched. Phase I created new all-weather links for eligible unconnected habitations. Phase II upgraded and consolidated selected through routes and major rural links. Phase III upgraded routes that connect habitations with rural agricultural markets, higher secondary schools and hospitals.
Q5Which of the following statements about Phase IV of the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana is incorrect?
Option D is incorrect. Phase IV identifies newly eligible unconnected habitations by Census 2011 population, not Census 2001. Its approved period is FY 2024-25 to 2028-29, its target is about 25,000 habitations, and its ₹70,125 crore outlay is divided into the stated central and state shares.
