## ANSWER MINISTER OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT (SHRI NARENDRA SINGH TOMAR)

- (a)     The unit for Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) is a Habitation and not a Revenue  village  or  a  Panchayat.   Against  14,804  habitations  of  250+,  500+  and  1000+ population size as per census, 2001, identified for  coverage  under PMGSY in the State of Uttar  Pradesh,  a  total  of  14,183  habitations  has  already  been  provided  all-weather  road connectivity, including 2,436 habitations connected by State out of their own resources, 619 habitations  have  been  dropped  and  the  remaining  2  habitations  are  at  different  stages  of completion  and  connectivity.  The  district-wise  details  of  all-weather  road  connectivity  to eligible habitations under PMGSY are given at Annexure .
- (b) to (d)  PMGSY roads are constructed by the State Governments with a design life of at least  10  years.  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  Agencies  (SRRDAs)  in  a  separate maintenance account. On expiry of this 5 year post construction maintenance, PMGSY roads are required to be placed under Zonal maintenance contracts consisting of 5 year maintenance including renewal as per cycle, from time to time.

Since 2016-17, financial incentives are given to top performing States, which show higher achievement in the year on the basis of predefined parameters. This incentive money is used by  the  States  specifically  for  periodic  maintenance  of  roads.  As  a  measure  of  further enhancing  the  focus  on  maintenance  of  roads  during  the  defect  liability  period  and  also streamline the delivery of routine  maintenance of PMGSY  roads,  the  Ministry has implemented the Electronic Maintenance of PMGSY roads (eMARG) in all the states. The eMARG  is  a  GIS-based  Enterprise  e-Governance  end  to  end  solution,  for  performance evaluation  of  roads  and  payment  to  contractors  for  routine  maintenance.  This  is  being implemented in all States.   11 States  out  of  29 states,  including Uttar  Pradesh,  are making maintenance related payments to contractors/agencies.
