IIPA Digest: Building capacity for governanceSummary: The Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) programme contributed to India’s efforts to achieve the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The economic and social impacts of PMGSY have been significant and substantial for enabling the stakeholders in terms of better opportunities and sustainable development in India. A World Bank study on the socio-economic impacts of PMGSY (2021) hasdocumented the following (i) PMGSY improved accessibility, particularly in hilly areas, as a result of which people in hilly areas made more trips to work per week; (ii) PMGSY enhanced the access to economic opportunities which triggered a shift in the structure of employment in rural India from farm to non-farm employment, particularly non-farm employment outside the habitation; (iii) PMGSY improved farm-to-farm connectivity, with PMGSY roads yielding an eight percent increment in the share of crops transported to markets for sale, a tripling over levels was observed before the PMGSY roads were built and (iv) PMGSY roads had a significant positive impact on human capital formation in rural India, with equal benefits to the boys and girls. – Reproduced
