## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT (SHRI FAGGAN SINGH KULASTE)

(a)  & (b): Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (Mahatma Gandhi NREGS) is a demand driven wage employment scheme with bottom up planning. The works are identified, approved and prioritized out of shelf of work by the Gram Panchayat, recommended by Gram Sabha in each State/UT as per the provision of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (Mahatma Gandhi NREGA). Accordingly, the works are approved and taken up by Panchayat as per the demand. The planning of works is done as per the estimated person days to be generated for the work in a financial year at the time of assessment of labour budget.

There are 262 permissible works under Mahatma Gandhi NREGA, which includes construction of  gravel  road.  Granular  Sub-Base  (GSB)  work  and  compaction  by  roller  are  allowed  for construction  of  gravel  roads  under  Mahatma  Gandhi  NREGS.  The  Programme  Implementing agency (PIA) is responsible for the quality of the work.

(c) & (d):     As per the information shared by the Government of Madhya Pradesh, the details of gravel road works taken up in Seoni district of Madhya Pradesh in last three financial years 201819, 2019-20 and 2020-21 along with sanctioned amount is given at Annexure. No contractors are permitted to be engaged in construction of works under Mahatma Gandhi NREGS.

Granular Sub-Base (GSB) work and road compaction by roller are done in the construction of gravel roads as per the provision of the Scheme.

There is no issue reported for any specific gravel road for not doing GSB work and compaction by roller.

- (e)   Does not arise.
