Antyodaya Anna Yojana (AAY): This scheme, aimed at providing food grains at highly subsidized rates to the poorest of the poor, was launched in December 2000. 3. Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY): This scheme, aiming to provide all-weather road connectivity to eligible rural habitations, was launched in December 2000. 4. Sarvapriya: This term was associated with certain PDS initiatives, but it wasn't a major flagship scheme launched by the Union Government in 2000 comparable to AAY or PMGSY. 5.
