## ANSWER MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT ( SHRI RAM KRIPAL YADAV )

( a) : 'Rural Roads' is a State subject and PMGSY is a one - time special intervention of the central government to provide rural connectivity, by way of a single all - weather road, to  the  eligible  unconnected  habitations  in  the  core  network. As  per  PMGSY  programme guidelines, tende ring, award and execution of PMGSY projects is the responsibility of State Government. In some States the progress of PMGSY is relatively slow due to whi there  are  road  works  still  incomplete  even  after  four  years.  The  State -wise  details  of  the numbe r of road works which are incomplete for more than 4 years including Maharasht given at Annexure. The reasons for slow progress are as under: -

- ( i ) Inadequate capacity of the Programme Implementation Units (PIUs).
- ( ii ) Most of the construction materials suc h as cement, steel, bitumen, machinery, personnel handle machinery etc. are not locally available.
- ( iii ) Lack of contracting capacity as well as non availability of basic road equipment such as road roller, crushing plants, dumper/tipper, trucks et
- ( iv ) No n- availability of land or the land falling under forest areas.
- ( v) Law and order problem in some parts of the States.

( b) : From time to time, State Governments are advised through various Regio Review  meetings  &  Empowered  Committee  meetings  to  take  suitable  n ecessary  action  to expedite timely  completion of road works under PMGSY. The following steps have be taken by the Ministry to ensure effective implementation of PMGSY:

- (i) Additional Programme Implementation Units (PIUs) set up for augmenting t execu tion capacity of the State.
- (ii) Provisions in the Standard Bidding Document (SBD) rationalized.
- (iii)Training to field engineers, contractors and their staff, imparted regu capacity building.

For accelerated execution of PMGSY in the States, t he Ministry of Rural Development in consultation  with  the  Ministry  of  Finance  and  the  State  Governments,  has  formula Action Plan to complete the connectivity mandate of the balance eligible habitations PMGSY -I by March, 2019, before the earlier set target date of 2022. Accordingly, all Sta governments have also formulated annual action plan for 2016 - 17 to complete all sanctioned PMGSY road works within the stipulated time frame.
