Government of India, as the part of poverty reduction strategy, launched the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) 2000 as a centrally sponsored scheme to assist the states, though rural roads are in the state list under the Constitution.

The primary objective of scheme is to provide connectivity by way of an all-weather road (with necessary culverts and cross-drainage structures, which is operable throughout the year), to the eligible unconnected habitations as per core-network with a population of 500 persons (as per 2001 census) and above in plain areas.

In respect of ‘Special Category States’ (North-East, Sikkim, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir and Uttarakhand), the desert areas, the tribal (Schedule V) areas and 88 selected tribal and backward districts, the objective is to connect eligible unconnected habitations as per Core-Network with a population of 250 persons and above (census 2001).

Hence second statement is wrong because the scheme covers Special Category States.

भारत सरकार ने गरीबी घटाने की रणनीति के हिस्से के रूप में, प्रधान मंत्री ग्राम सड़क योजना (पीएमजीएसवाई) 2000 को राज्यों की सहायता के लिए केंद्र प्रायोजित योजना के रूप में लॉन्च किया, हालांकि ग्रामीण सड़कें संविधान के तहत राज्य सूची में हैं।

योजना का प्राथमिक उद्देश्य मैदानी क्षेत्रों में 500 या उससे
