Vision: To provide the needed advice in Rural Areas for sustainable development of Rural Infrastructure i.e. Roads and Buildings

 Mission: To create an environment where people come forward and contribute towards National Development by offering Manpower from villagers utilizing technique from SEG and funds from UBA.

Philosophy: India lives in Villages. India has more than six lakh villages scattered all over the country. More than two third of population is dependent on Rural Resources. Any country can’t be put in developed category unless its rural population is having all facilities.  Mainly the Subject Expert Group on Rural Infrastructure is working in the area of Roads and Buildings. In Road sector major projects are Government Sponsored Projects where Scope of Public participation is less. A Mega Yojna known as Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojna (PMGSY) was launched on Dec 25, 2000 on the birthday of then Prime Minister, Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Since then yojna is successfully continuing. There are various waste materials available the country. There is a need to utilize these materials in road construction. Such materials include Steel Industry Slag, Waste Plastic, Fly Ash, Red Mud, Municipal Waste, Zarocite, Bagasse, Rice Husk Ash etc. These all can be fruitfully utilised in Road Construction.

In buildings also, there is a lot of scope to utilise waste materials. Fly ash is being used in embankments and cement industry. With production of electricity from coal, fly ash is a by-product. Nowadays cement manufactured by adding flyash is known as graded cement. Low Cost Housing is also the need of today. In rural areas, the funds are to be optimally utilised for low cost houses.

Apart from roads and buildings, Rural Sector involves the making of general amenities in the villages with small funding. The SEG is financing such small projects also.
