Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana — Prelims Strategy

Prelims Strategy

For Prelims preparation, focus on memorizing key statistics: 7.5+ lakh km roads constructed, 1.8+ lakh habitations connected, 97% connectivity achievement. Master the funding patterns: 60:40 for normal states, 90:10 for NE/hilly states and LWE districts under PMGSY-III.

Remember population criteria: 500+ for plains, 250+ for hilly/tribal/desert areas. Understand the three-tier quality monitoring system and five-year maintenance requirement. Stay updated on PMGSY-III specific features: GrAMs, higher secondary schools, hospitals connectivity.

Practice elimination techniques by understanding common traps: confusing funding patterns, mixing up population criteria, incorrect maintenance periods. Focus on recent developments like digital monitoring, climate-resilient roads, and achievement statistics.

Create comparison charts with other rural schemes to avoid confusion during elimination.
