## ANSWER

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

(a) & (b) The Ministry of Rural Development has released Geographic Information System (GIS)  data  developed  for  the  Pradhan  Mantri  Gram  Sadak  Yojana  (PMGSY)  scheme  in public  domain.  Under  PMGSY-III,  more  than  7.70  lakh  rural  facilities  such  as  medical, educational and markets have been geo-tagged. Details of rural roads are available in public domain  at  https://geosadak-pmgsy.nic.in/opendata.  The  GIS  data  created  under  PMGSY National GIS guideline is not just of rural areas, but serves as a holistic national geo-spatial dataset including urban areas, National Highways, State Highways and Railway tracks, etc. GeoSadak has been developed utilizing fully indigenous GIS data layers and satellite data services.

The details of roads in the district rural roads plan are visible through GIS visualization tool at http://pmgsy-grris.nic.in.

(c) to (e) Yes Sir.  Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojna (PMGSY) was launched as 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  uplifting  the  socio-economic condition of the rural population. Since inception till date (15.03.2023), a total of 8,06,681

km  road  length  (1,85,667  roads  &  10,549  bridges)  has  been  sanctioned  under  various verticals of the PMGSY, out of which 7,29,221 km road length has already been completed (1,74,423  roads  &  7,912  bridges).   The  State-wise  details  including  Odisha,  Uttar  Pradesh and Maharashtra states are given at Annexure. Various impact assessment studies that have been carried out by Independent Agencies have concluded that PMGSY has helped in better access of marketplace for the rural masses and generated  employment  in  various  forms.  It  has  also  helped  in  improving  socio-economic condition  of  people  living  around  the  area.  Thus,  it  has  helped  in  removing  poverty  and unemployment.  The  scheme  has  impacted  agriculture,  health,  education,  urbanization  and employment generation in a big way.

(f) & (g)    Yes, Sir. 99,319 km of road length have been sanctioned so far under PMGSY III,  out of which 64,331 km of road length has been sanctioned using new/ green technology. Out  of  which  64,331  km  road  length,  18,983  km  road  length  has  been  completed.  New  / Green  technology  economizes  construction  cost  of  road  as  well  as  facilitates  effective disposal  of  different  industrial  and  municipal  waste  along  with  conserving  use  of  virgin mining  materials.  It  also  enhances  the  execution  capacities  and  reduces  the  construction period in road and bridge works.
