DESCRIPTION
3 National Rural Road Development Committee Report- Findings India has about 5.89 lakh villages of various population sizes, inhabited by about 75 % of its population. Water tankers cannot reach several thousands drought prone villages leading to migration of rural population in total despair. A large number of cattle die in veterinary epidemics especially during the rainy season because timely help cannot reach them. Daily 300 pregnant women die, as they cannot reach the health centre in time from their villages. The public distribution system fails to penetrate to thousands of villages leading to malnutrition and infant morality. Perishable agricultural crops cannot reach the market in time leading to heavy loss to the farmers. Lakhs of rural children cannot reach the schools during rainy season.

ConnectivityConnectivity
The Unconnected Habitations are to be connected to nearby Habitations already connected by an All-weather road or to another existing All-weather road so that services (educational, health, marketing facilities etc.), which are not available in the unconnected Habitation, become available to the residents.
