The road network map was prepared on basic of Google map, Connectivity Composite Score was calculated with the help of Beta Index and Cyclomatic Index. Here lower the CCS value, higher the connectivity and vice versa. Therefore high connectivity villages are Shrirampur (2), Taklibhan (6), Belapur Bk. (8), Haregaon (10), Padhegaon (15) and Shirasgaon (18) etc. while low connectivity found in the villages, Eklahare (107), Gurjarwadi (107), Naygaon (107), Rampur (107), and Wangi (106.5) etc. After that Socio-Economic Development Composite Score was also calculated using population density, Sex Ratio, Literacy Rate, Share of worker to total population and NSAs Rank Orders.

Therefore high socio-economic development villages are Kadit Kh (64), Narsari (81), Kadit bk (92.5), Matapur (97) and Muthewadgaon (99.5) etc. whereas low socio-econominc development found in the villages, Wangi (237.5), Bhamathan & Nipaniwadgaon (193), Kamalpur (190.5), Khokar (186.5) and Naur (183.5) etc. The correlation coefficient (r value) between road connectivity and socio-economic development is 0.01 which indicates very weak correlation between road connectivity and socio-economic development in Shrirampur tahsil.
