- (a): Pradhan Mantri Gram SadakYojana (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.  For  accelerated  execution  of  PMGSY  in  the  States,  the Ministry  of  Rural  Development  in consultation  with  the  Ministry  of  Finance  and  the  State Governments,  has  formulated  an  Action  Plan  to  complete  the  connectivity  mandate  of  the balance  eligible  habitations  under  PMGSY-I  by  March,  2019,  much  before  the  earlier  set target date of 2022.
- (b): Under PMGSY funds are being provided to the states as per their demand for funds and the fulfillment of stipulated conditions laid down in the scheme guidelines. There is no inadequacy  of  fund  allocation.  State-wise  details  of  fund  allocated  and  released  under PMGSY during the years 2014-15 to 2017-18 (as on date) are annexed.
- (c): In order to achieve the targets of New Connectivity under PMGSY by March 2019, all State governments have formulated an action plan to complete all sanctioned works within the  stipulated  time  frame,  by  preparing  a  time-line  for  Project  Implementation  Unit  (PIU) wise  completion  of  road  works.  The  progress  of  implementation  of  PMGSY  is  regularly monitored by way of Regional Review Meetings (RRMs), Performance Review Committee (PRC) Meetings, Pre-Empowered Committee Meetings with the States etc.  At District level, the  District  Development  Coordination  and  Monitoring  Committee  (DISHA)  headed  by  a Member of Parliament (LS) monitors the implementation of various schemes of Government of  India  including  PMGSY. Special review meetings are also held by Secretary/Additional Secretary,  Ministry  of  Rural  Development  with  Chief  Secretaries  of  the  States.    Review meetings were held at the level of Minister of Rural Development with all the States on 15 th December, 2017 and 28 th February, 2018. The following additional steps have been taken by the Ministry to ensure effective and timely implementation of PMGSY:
- (i) Additional  Programme  Implementation  Units  (PIUs)  set  up  for  augmenting  the execution capacity of the State.
- (ii) Provisions in the Standard Bidding Document (SBD) rationalized.
- (iii) Training to field engineers, contractors and their staff, imparted regularly for capacity building.
- (iv) Regular outreach programmes for contractors, organized at State level.
