## The Statement as referred to in the Answer to Lok Sabha Starred Question No 5

State - wise  details  of  roads  constructed  under  Pradhan  Mantri  Gram  Sadak  Yojana (PMGSY) are givenat Annexure - 1.

The roads under PMGSY are constructed and measured as per the Specifications for Rural Roads of Ministry of Rural Development published by Indian Roads Congress (IRC and other relevant IRC guidelines. T hough t he  book of specifications has been revised by IRC in 2014, no changes ha ve been made for measurements of items of road.

The Government has not made new Guidelines for road measurement under PMGSY. Hence the question of assessing the likely impact of such guidelines does not arise.
