10 km may be treated as a cluster for this purpose@),of a connected Habitation
or an All-weather road (either existing or planned). In drawing up the proposed
road links, the requirements of the people must be taken into account, through the

4.3) and the alignment having the higher Road Index ought to be considered for
selection.

4.6 The Block level Master Plan and the Core Network are then placed before the
Intermediate Panchayat for consideration and approval of the Core Network. They
are simultaneously sent, along with the list of all unconnected Habitations to the
Members of Parliament and MLAs, for their comments, if any. After approval by the
Intermediate Panchayat, the Plans would be placed before the District Panchayat
for its approval. It will be incumbent on the District Panchayat to ensure that the
suggestions given by the Members of Parliament are given full consideration within
the framework of these Guidelines. Once approved by the District Panchayat, a 7
copy of the Core Network would be sent to the State-level Agency as well as the
National Rural Roads Development Agency. No road work may be proposed under the
PMGSY for New Connectivity or Upgradation (where permitted) unless it forms part of
the Core Network.
5. FUNDING AND ALLOCATION
5.1 Once the Core Network is prepared and pavement condition survey
conducted (see para 6.2), it is possible to estimate the length of roads for New
Connectivity as well as Upgradation for every District. States may, each year,
distribute the State’s Allocation among the Districts giving at least 80% on the
basis of road length required for providing connectivity to Unconnected Habitations and
upto 20% on the basis of road length requiring Upgradation under the PMGSY. The
District-wise allocation of funds would also be communicated to the NRRDA and
STAs every year by the State Government.
