Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | India is one of the world's fastest growing economies. However, the weakness in basic rural infrastructure has constrained poverty reduction and agricultural growth. India''s 12th Five Year Plan (FYP) seeks faster, more inclusive, and sustainable growth. The PMGSY is considered as a key program of the FYP. The specific contribution of the PMGSY to the achievement of country strategic development goals includes reducing poverty (faster and more inclusive growth), expanding and strengthening rural infrastructure to accelerate agricultural growth and the rural economy, creating jobs, and social development (improved education, health, and social indicators). | ||||

Stakeholder Communication, Participation, and Consultation | |
During Project Design | Potential beneficiaries are rural community residents, including farmers, women, and poor households; commercial service providers, transport providers, government workers such as health workers, teachers, and agriculture extension workers. Their opinion and suggestions related to the investment program will be ascertained during community consultation. |
During Project Implementation | During the preparation stage, discussions, interviews, and small group meetings will be conducted within the project-affected communities to ascertain their response to the investment program, their needs and demands, estimates of losses from their properties, and steps to mitigate them. Interviews and group meetings will be held in groups comprising men, women, farmers, scheduled castes, scheduled tribes, and other marginalized classes to obtain a comprehensive perspective of the investment program in all the five states. A Community Participation Framework will be prepared for each state. It will be included in the DMF that 100% of affected communities will be consulted in the design process. Each project road will have a Community Participation Plan. |
