Bharat Nirman was launched by Government of India in April 2005 as a time bound business plan of Government of India for building rural infrastructure in the areas of irrigation, roads, housing, water supply, electrification and telecommunication connectivity.

Under the roads component of Bharat Nirman:

         Every habitation of over 1000 population and above (and above 500 in hilly and tribal areas) would be provided all-weather road connectivity.

         ‘Through routes’ in the Core Network connecting farm to market are to be upgraded.

Funds under PMGSY (for new connectivity and Upgradation) and from State Government (for renewal) are being used to achieve the targets of the road components of Bharat Nirman.

Status of connectivity of habitations is determined as per the Core Network. Core Network was revised in December 2007 and as per the revised core network status of connectivity is as follows:
