प्रधानमंत्री ग्राम सडक योजनेचे खालीलपैकी सर्वात महत्वाचे उद्दिष्ट कोणते?

The correct answer is Option C (To provide all weather road connectivity to unconnected rural areas with a population of 500 and above.).

Key Points:
• Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) was launched on December 25, 2000, as a nationwide initiative to provide good quality all-weather road connectivity to unconnected rural habitations.
• The primary core objective was specifically targeted at habitations with a population of 500 and above in plain areas, and 250 and above in hilly, desert, and tribal areas.
• Option (3) captures this exact foundational demographic and connectivity criteria which defined the scale of rural road infrastructure development under PMGSY.
• Options (1), (2), and (4) either state partial funding mechanisms or modify population thresholds inaccurately relative to the primary mandate.
• Therefore, option (3) is the definitive primary objective stated in official program guidelines.
• Key Takeaway: PMGSY aims to provide all-weather road connectivity to unconnected habitations with populations of 500+.
