## ANSWER

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

(a) Currently Phase III of Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) is in operation which  was  launched  in  the  year  2019  for  consolidation  and  upgradation  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) & (c) The timeline for completion of PMGSY-III is March, 2025. Against the target of 1,25,000 km under PMGSY-III, the Ministry has so far sanctioned 86,039 km road length to 17 states out of which 41,454 km has been completed. The state-wise status of progress under PMGSY-III till 13.07.2022 is given at Annexure-I .

In order to ensure that contracting capacity of the states are not over stretched, PMGSY-III works are sanctioned to only those states where bulk of sanctioned works of PMGSY-I and II have been completed. The balance works to be sanctioned under PMGSY-III relate to only such states where substantial works PMGSY-I and II are still pending for completion.

PMGSY has an unbroken chain of funds release. Funds are released to the States keeping in mind the  works  in  hand,  execution  capacity  of  the  states  and  unspent  balance  of  previous year(s) available with the State. Adequate funds are available with the states as on date for execution  of  the  schemes.  There  is  no  obstruction  to  works  under  PMGSY  due  to  lack  of funds.
