Abstract

Rural development is a subset of the broader term development; Development is a universally cherished goal of individuals, families, communities and nations all over the world. Development is also natural in the sense that all forms of life on planet earth have an inherent urge to survive and develop. When applied to human beings, it means unfolding or opening up their potential powers. The term development implies a change that is desirable. But, generally speaking, development could be conceptualized as a set or vector of desirable societal objectives or a development index, which does not decrease over time. In this paper we make an attempt to give clear picture of the success of Pradhan mantri gramya sadak yojana (PMGSY) especially in the case of rural area.
