The government of India has launched “Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana” to provide connectivity to rural roads of the villages. As India is a county of villages huge investments are made to provide roads of all-weather conditions to the rural areas. The roads are constructed with high quality control during the construction, maintenance of these roads is given less attention because of this the life of the road are going short. Out of the total road constructed in India 70.23% road are rural roads. The Central Government has launched the Scheme Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) on 25th December 2000. The primary objective of the PMGSY is to provide connectivity, by all for all all-weather road, with necessary culverts and cross-drainage structures, which is operable throughout the year. The aim of the study is Evaluation of Road Constructed Under PMGSY Scheme and Its Social Benefits – A Case Study of Anand District. The objectives of the study are as follows: To assess the present condition of the pavement using Pavement Condition Index (PCI),to determine maintenance type, to determine the deflection of existing flexible pavement using Benkelman Beam deflection, to assess the overall socio-economic impact on the lives of the rural people as the part of the PMGSY The study purposes the methodology is to evaluate the PMGSY road and their social benefits. The study had two major and critical goals which covered by considering the following three tasks; the first was the visual evaluation and inspection of existing flexible pavement conditions including the failures, the second to determine and find out the actual causes of these failures in the pavement, and the third is to select the most and inspection of existing flexible pavement and maintenance types.

Visual evaluation, inspection of existing flexible pavement, maintenance types, distress type.
