Public sector construction projects are always criticized for issues of time and cost overrun. Many researchers have worked on this problem and came out with a success list of factors for the successful completion of public projects. Public Works Department (PWD) Maharashtra is facing the same challenge, but the organization is executing more projects in the rural area. Therefore, it is necessary to identify success factors for this organization with the context of working in a rural area. To address this, 25 factors were identified, and their degree of importance was determined through a questionnaire survey. Considering 122 valid responses, factors were ranked based on their means and were further checked for the difference of opinion by one way ANOVA, and thereafter, the factor analysis was done. Through factor analysis, all the factors were extracted into 7 components to decide the new factors to lead projects toward success. The critical success factors emerge, which are the client’s preparedness, employee training, project manager’s competency, contractor’s efficiency, project management, external environment, and transparent procurement. The findings of this study will help the practicing managers as well as all the other stakeholders associated with the project. The identified CSF’s will provide them a clear insight as to which components they need to address to make a project a successful one.
