Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana — Programme Guidelines

5.2 In making the District-wise allocation, the road lengths already taken up
under the PMGSY or any other Programme may be excluded (even if the road
works are still under execution). The figures of new construction length will thus keep
on changing every year till such time as all Unconnected Habitations (of the eligible
population size) have been covered in the District.
5.3 In addition to the allocation to the States, a special allocation of upto 5% of
the annual allocation from the Rural Roads share of the Diesel Cess will be made
for:
(i) Districts sharing borders with Pakistan and China (in coordination with
Ministry of Home Affairs)
(ii) Districts sharing borders with Myanmar, Bangladesh and Nepal (in coordination
with Ministry of Home Affairs)
8 (iii) Selected Tribal and Backward Districts (under IAP) identified by the Ministry
of Home Affairs and Planning Commission.
(iv) Extremely backward Districts (as identified by the Planning Commission)
which can be categorised as Special Problem Areas
(v) Research & Development Projects and innovations.
