All countries face the basic economic problem of allocating scarce resources among competing uses in a way that maximises the social welfare. Therefore it is very essential to prioritise the projects to ensure that resources are spend judiciously. This paper demonstrates the use a Multi Criteria Prioritisation model based on novel set of factors like Growth Centers, Road Utilisation, Connectivity, Accessibility, Backwardness and the amount of Commercial Vehicles using the road in order to rank roads to be selected for improvement. Using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) the weight of each factors in Composite Index calculation have been formulated. This prioritisation model has been used for prioritising 20 Major District Roads (MDRs) in the Kottayam district of Kerala, India.
