According to state data, Chhattisgarh has so far been sanctioned 9,722 roads (48,594 km) and 669 bridges across various phases of PMGSY. Of these, 8,753 roads (43,380 km) and 470 bridges have already been completed, reflecting the state’s strong on-ground performance.

He added that the Centre remains committed to ensuring the benefits of the scheme reach all targeted beneficiaries, further speeding up rural development in the state.

Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai welcomed the approval, calling it a major boost to Chhattisgarh’s rural development drive. “The sanction of 774 new roads under PMGSY will give fresh momentum to our rural development efforts. This is a historic step toward ensuring all-weather connectivity to remote and unconnected habitations. I express my heartfelt gratitude to Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and Union Rural Development Minister Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan. Our government is committed to providing safe, strong, all-season road connectivity to every village in Chhattisgarh, uplifting rural economy, education, healthcare, and public welfare,” he said
