About ____ per cent of the total road length in India are categorised as rural roads.
80
India has one of the largest road networks in the world, and it is classified into categories such as national highways, state highways, district roads and rural roads.
Rural roads form the largest share of this network; about 80 per cent of the total road length in India is categorised as rural roads.
These roads provide vital connectivity to villages and are developed through schemes such as the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY).
The figures 60, 40 and 20 per cent understate the actual share of rural roads.
This large proportion reflects the predominantly rural character of the country and the emphasis on village connectivity.
Therefore, about 80 per cent of India's total road length is classified as rural roads.
