## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT (SADHVI NIRANJAN JYOTI)

- (a)        The Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY-I) was launched in the year 2000 with an objective to provide rural connectivity, by way of a single all-weather road, to the eligible unconnected habitations of designated population size.

In the year 2013, PMGSY-II was launched for upgradation of selected Through Routes and Major Rural Links (MRLs) with a target to upgrade 50,000 Km in various States and Union Territories.

Subsequently, in 2016, Road Connectivity Project for Left Wing Extremism Affected Areas (RCPLWEA) was launched for construction/upgradation of strategically important roads, as a separate vertical under PMGSY.

In  the  year  2019,  Government  launched  PMGSY-III  for  consolidation  of  1,25,000  Km Through  Routes  and  Major  Rural  Links  connecting  habitations,  inter-alia,  to  Gramin Agricultural Markets (GrAMs), Higher Secondary Schools and Hospitals.

- (b)        All the roads constructed under PMGSY are all-weather roads. Moreover, the unit for PMGSY scheme is a habitation and not a village. The state-wise details of roads constructed (in km), expenditure incurred (including state share) and habitations connected during the last three  years is  given at Annexure-I .  Further,  the  details  of  roads  constructed  under  various interventions/ verticals of PMGSY can be accessed at omms.nic.in->Proposals->Statewise List of Roads .

(c) & (d)   Physical targets to states are fixed every year at the start of Financial Year. The state-wise physical target, set for the current Financial Year 2022-23 is given at AnnexureII .
