The Government of India’s flagship rural road construction project, the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY)

Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) was launched on 25th December 2000 with the objective to improve rural connectivity across India. However, there are various challenges in terms of construction delays, cost over-runs, and under-utilization of funds. MSC has designed smart solutions which can offer better ways and means to improve scheme delivery and capacity on the ground particularly in the context of physical and financial management of the project. MSC is supporting the National Rural Infrastructure Development Agency (NRIDA), which is responsible for managing and monitoring the flagship program to implement a new range of emerging IT solutions. The intended outcome for the project will be to create transparency across the system by enabling key decision-makers to have better observability of data from the sites, traceability of fund flow, and keep a tab on the overall scheme performance.
