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

- (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, 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 balance habitations under PMGSY-I by March, 2019, much before the earlier set target date of 2022.
- (b) : In order to accelerate the implementation and ensure time bound completion of the Scheme in the States, the Government has decided to provide substantial enhancement of allocation for PMGSY.

| S.No | Financial Year | Allocation to the States |
| 1.   | 2015-16        | 15186                    |
| 2.   | 2016-17        | 16508                    |
| 3.   | 2017-18        | 16819                    |

The Budget Estimate (BE) for 2018-19 is Rs.19,000 crore. In addition to the Central Share, the State Share will be available for the programme, according to changed funding pattern since 2015.

- (c) : The quantum of funds allocated under the said scheme during the last two years, State/UT-wise is given in Annexure-A .
- (d) : In order to bring the execution of PMGSY works to the desired quality standard, a three tier quality management mechanism has been institutionalized.  Under the first tier, the Programme  Implementation  Units  (PIUs)  are  required  to  ensure  process  control  through mandatory tests on material and workmanship at field laboratory.  The second tier is structured independent  quality  monitoring  at  the  State  level  through  State  Quality  Monitors  (SQMs)  to ensure that every work is inspected at three different stages of construction.  Under the third tier,  independent  National  Quality  Monitors  (NQMs)  are  deployed  for  random  inspection  of road works to monitor quality and also to provide guidance of senior professionals to the field functionaries. Based on the periodic monitoring of quality of roads under the 3-tier mechanism, corrective measures, wherever necessary, are taken by the State Governments.
- (e) : During  the  sub-group  of  Chief  Minister  Meeting  held  on  13.11.2015,  it  was decided to change the fund sharing pattern of PMGSY from 100% to 60:40 between the Centre and States for plain areas & 90:10 for special areas.  Seeing the increased level of allocation, the Government of India decided to advance the target of completion of  PMGSY-I from 2022 to 2019.
- (f) : The number of roads constructed under the said scheme during the last one year, State/UT-wise is given in Annexure-B.
