The Odisha government has urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to include 4,035 more villages under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana.
Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik wrote a letter to the Prime Minister in which he mentioned that the Union Cabinet had approved the revision of Core Network to include the left out habitations in 2013, following the state government request to the Centre to include these unconnected habitations.
The letter has mentioned that the state government has already submitted detailed information on the said unconnected habitations for approval to the National Rural Roads Development Agency in New Delhi.
