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

(a)&(b): 'Rural  Roads'  is  a  State  subject  and    Pradhan  Mantri  Gram  Sadak  Yojana (PMGSY) is a one-time special intervention to provide rural connectivity, by way of a single all-weather  road,  to  the  eligible  unconnected  habitations  in  the  core  network.  PMGSY  is executed  through  State  Rural  Roads  Development  Agency  (SRRDA)  at  State  level  and Programme Implementation Units (PIUs) at district levels and timely completion of PMGSY roads is the responsibility of the respective State Government.  Under PMGSY, the unit of programme is a habitation and not a revenue village.  The number of eligible unconnected habitations as per the Core Network under PMGSY is 1,78,184, out of which the Ministry has sanctioned 1, 64,547 habitations till 31 st December, 2017. The States have reported to have connected 1,30,974 habitations by all-weather road till 31 st December,2017. The Government of  India  has  taken  a  decision  to  accelerate  execution  of  all-weather  road  connectivity  to eligible habitations for substantial completion of the habitation connectivity as per the Core Network  of  PMGSY  by  March,  2019.  The  State-wise  details  of  habitations  eligible  and connected by all-weather road till December, 2017 is given at Annexure-I .

- (c): The details of the fund released to the States under PMGSY during the last 3 years and the current year upto 1 st Feburary, 2018, State-wise and year-wise is given at AnnexureII.
- (d): As per PMGSY guidelines, maintenance of roads constructed under the programme is the responsibility of the State Governments and all road works are covered by initial five year maintenance contracts to be entered into along with the construction contract, with the same contractor, as  per  the  Standard  Bidding  Document.  Maintenance funds  to  service  the contract are required to be budgeted by the State Governments and placed at the disposal of the State Rural Roads Development Agency (SRRDA) in a separate maintenance account. On expiry  of  this  5  year  post  construction  maintenance,  PMGSY  roads  are  required  to  be maintained  by  State  Government  through  their  own  funds,  from  time  to  time.  Further,  the Ministry has advised the States to notify State Rural Road Maintenance Policy to ensure that the assets created under PMGSY are maintained on a regular and systematic basis. So far 23 States have notified the State Rural Road Maintenance Policy.
