the states but at the same time there should be proper monitoring and more funds should be allocated<br />

to the states like Goa, Haryana, Himmachal Pradesh, Jarkand, Manipur, Magalaya, Mizoram and other<br />

states which and lagging behind in new connectivity <strong>of</strong> roads and upgradation.<br />

Table – 3 exhibits the funds allocated in crores for construction <strong>of</strong> roads and bridges. It shows<br />

that the state Odisha ranks first in getting more funds allocated at Rs.1467 crores followed Madhya<br />

Pradesh, Bihar, Rajasthan, West Bengal and other states. <strong>The</strong> similar trend has been observed in the<br />

number <strong>of</strong> bridges constructed in the 2011-12. In the case <strong>of</strong> road in kms the state Rajasthan occupied<br />

the first place followed by Punjab, Madhya Pradesh, Jarkhand, Bihar and other states. In this context, it<br />

may be inferred from the results that the PMGSY has been in progress in extending rural road<br />

connectivity as well as construction <strong>of</strong> bridges across the major states <strong>of</strong> India. At the same time, there<br />

should be more focus on the states like Gujarat, Tripura and Sikkim and other states where the rural<br />

road infrastructural development is tardy.<br />

IV. Conclusion<br />

In the light <strong>of</strong> the above results and discussion, the following conclusion could be drawn.<br />

i. It may be inferred that in the new connectivity <strong>of</strong> road among the states, Assam, Bihar,<br />

Chattish Garh, Jammu and Kashmir and Madhya Pradesh have recorded a progressive trend<br />

under PMGSY. As a result, the over all productive economic activities have increased.<br />

ii. In the case <strong>of</strong> road construction in kms, the states Rajasthan, Punjab, Madhya Pradesh,<br />

Jarkhand and Bihar have recorded a remarkable performance in rural road infrastructural<br />

development.<br />

iii. Regarding funds allocation fro construction <strong>of</strong> roads and bridges, odisha has shown a<br />

commendable progress and it is closely followed by Madhya Pradesh Bihar Rajasthan and<br />

Bengal<br />

iv. By and Large, the rural road infrastructural development has been progressive in the rural<br />

areas <strong>of</strong> India states and its overall progress and performance is highly encouraging.<br />
