## ANSWER

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

(a)  to  (b)  The  Government  launched  Pradhan  Mantri  Gram  Sadak  Yojana  (PMGSY)  in December 2000, as a one-time special intervention to provide rural connectivity, by  way of a single  all-weather  road,  to  the  eligible  unconnected  habitations  of  designated  population  size (500+  in  plain  areas  and  250+  in  North-Eastern  States,  Himalayan  States,  Deserts  and  Tribal Areas as per 2001 census) in the core network for uplifting the socio-economic condition of the rural population. In the critical Left Wing Extremism affected blocks (as identified by Ministry of Home Affairs), additional relaxation has been given to connect habitations with population  of 100 persons and above (2001 census). The scheme has also an element of upgradation of existing rural roads in districts where all the eligible habitations of the designated population size have been provided all-weather road connectivity.

The  mandate  of  the  scheme  have  been  subsequently  widened  to  include  new  interventions namely PMGSY-II with a target to upgrade 50,000 Kms of the existing rural road network to improve  its  overall  efficiency  as  a  provider  of  transportation  services  for  people,  goods  and services  and  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.

All road works constructed under PMGSY 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  of  roads  beyond  5  years  is  also  done  by  the  State Government. This is limited and does not exist as a regular intervention.

(c)  The  funds  for  implementation  of  the  PMGSY  is  released  by  the  Ministry  to  the  state  as whole.  Further  release  of  funds  to  the  programme  implementation  units  (PIUs)  at  the  district level  is  done  by  the  respective  state  depending  on  the  projects  sanctioned  to  the  district  and expenditure plan. As informed by the State Government of Haryana, all works of PMGSY-I and PMGSY-II  have  been  completed  physically  and  financially.  The  district-wise  expenditure towards  upgradation  of  roads  under  PMGSY-I  and  II  in  the  State  of  Haryana  are  given  at Annexure-I & II respectively.

The State has been allocated target length of 2,500 km under PMGSY-III, against which 688.94 Km of roads worth Rs. 383.58 crore has already  been sanctioned. The  district-wise  details  of road length sanctioned and value of project is given at Annexure-III .

(d) to (e)  The State of Haryana has submitted proposal for sanction of another 1,217.05 km of road  worth  Rs.  554.68  crore  under  PMGSY-III.  The  district-wise  details  of  the  proposal  are given  at Annexure-IV .  The  proposal  was  considered  by  the  Empowered  Committee  in  its meeting held on 27 th January, 2021. The clearance of proposal would depend on compliance of the observations of Empowered Committee by the State Government.
