Supporters have credited Pawan Kalyan's direct oversight in his roles overseeing Panchayati Raj and Rural Development for the state's improved performance. Recent assessments conducted by national and state quality monitors recorded a low number of unsatisfactory ratings, reflecting the effectiveness of monitoring mechanisms and adherence to construction standards.
The latest ranking represents a major turnaround for Andhra Pradesh, which stood at 19th position under the previous government. The sharp rise to second place highlights a substantial improvement in the state's execution of the national rural roads programme and reinforces confidence in the quality of infrastructure being developed across rural regions.
The achievement is expected to strengthen road connectivity in villages, improving access for farmers, creating employment opportunities, and enhancing access to essential services. With nearly 60 percent of Andhra Pradesh's population residing in rural areas, the improved performance under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana is seen as a significant step toward accelerating rural development and expanding economic opportunities across the state.
