A three-tier Quality Control mechanism viz. Project Inspection Unit (PIU), State Quality  Monitors  (SQM)  and  National  Quality  Monitors  (NQM)  is  envisaged  under  the PMGSY for ensuring construction of quality road works.

(d): The  system  (OMMAS)  manages  and  monitors  all  the  phases  of  road  development right from its proposal mode to road completion. The OMMAS also has separate module to track  the  expenses  made  on  each  road.  Based  on  the  data  entered  by  state  and  district officers,  OMMAS  generates  detailed  reports  which  are  viewable  in  citizens  section (http://omms.nic.in).  OMMAS  incorporates  advanced  features  like  E-payment,  Password protected PDF files, Interactive Reports etc.
