The correct option is C Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana
Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) was launched in 2000. It was aimed at enhancing connectivity to rural villages and providing them better access to social and economic services like schools, villages, and agricultural markets. This scheme covers only Rural Roads. They were formerly classified as Other District roads (ODR) or Village Roads (VR). The Rural Development Ministry coordinates this project along with several state governments. The third phase of this scheme was launched in 2019-2020 and is estimated to be completed by 2024-2025.
