## ANSWER

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

(a) & (b) Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) was launched on 25 th December, 2000 for providing connectivity by way of an all weather road to the eligible unconnected habitations as  per  core-network  with  a  population  of  500  persons  in  plain  areas.  In  respect  of  the  North Eastern  and  hilly  states,  Desert  Areas  (as  identified  in  the  Desert  Development  Programme), Tribal  (Schedule  V)  areas  and  Selected  Tribal  and  Backward  Districts  (as  identified  by  the Ministry  of  Home  Affairs  and  Planning  Commission),  the  objective  is  to  connect  eligible unconnected habitations  with a population of 250 persons  and above (Census 2001).  For  Left Wing Extremism (LWE) areas as identified by the Ministry of Home Affairs, the unconnected habitations with population 100 and above (as per 2001 Census) are eligible to be covered under PMGSY. As on 20 th July 2021, 99% of eligible habitations have been connected.

As the programme unfolded, a need was felt for consolidation of the existing rural road network to improve its efficiency not only as a provider of transportation services, but also as a vehicle of social  and  economic  development.  Accordingly,  PMGSY-II  was  launched  in  May,  2013  to envisage consolidation of the existing Rural Road Network to improve its overall efficiency as a provider  of  transportation  services  for  people,  goods  and  services.  A  total  of  50,000  km  road length  has  been  targeted  for  upgradation  under  PMGSY-II.  As  on  20 th July  2021,  89%  road length has been constructed out of 49,903.68 km sanctioned.

Road Connectivity Project for Left Wing Extremism Affected Areas (RCPLWEA) was launched in the year 2016 with an aim to improve the road connectivity in 44 worst affected LWE districts and some adjoining districts in 9 States, viz. Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Madhya  Pradesh,  Maharashtra,  Odisha,  Telangana  and  Uttar  Pradesh.  The  scheme  has  twin objectives of enabling smooth and seamless anti-LWE operations by the security forces and also ensuring  socio-economic  development  of  the  area.  As  on  20 th July  2021,  9,267.70  km  road length has been sanctioned and 4,125.52 km length has been constructed.

The Government approved PMGSY-III in July, 2019 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. The timeline for completion of PMGSY-III is  March,  2025.  As  on  20 th July  2021,  62,968.34  km  road  length  has  been  sanctioned  and 13,692.71 km has been constructed.

The timeline for completion of PMGSY-I & II was March 2019 and March 2020 respectively. However, some works remain to be completed particularly in North East and Himalayan States due to tough terrain, adverse weather conditions and shorter working season. Progress of works also got impacted due to COVID-19. Despite the above, the programme was able to achieve the pace of construction @ 100km/ day during the year 2020-21. Also an expenditure of Rs. 23,933 Crore  (including  state  share)  was  incurred  during  the  same  period  which  is  the  highest expenditure incurred in any year since inception of the scheme. PMGSY-I & II are now targeted for completion by March 2022.

The  initial  timeline  for  completion  of  RCPLWEA  was  March,  2020.  However,  progress  got slowed  down  due  to  forest  clearance  issues  in  many  states.  Also,  the  targeted  length  was increased. RCPLWEA is now targeted for completion by March, 2023.

The progress of implementation of rural roads under PMGSY is regularly reviewed by way of Regional  Review  Meetings  (RRMs),  Performance  Review  Committee  (PRC)  meetings,  PreEmpowered/Empowered  Committee  meetings  with  the  States.  At  district  level,  the  District Development  Coordination  and  Monitoring  Committee  (DISHA)  headed  by  a  Member  of Parliament (LS) monitors implementation of various schemes of Government of India including PMGSY.  In  addition  to  this,  special  review  meetings  are  also  held  by  Secretary/  Additional Secretary/  Joint  Secretary,  Ministry  of  Rural  Development  with  Chief  Secretaries/  Principal Secretaries and other concerned officers of the States.

Since inception till 20 th July, 2021, a total of 7,67,784 km road length has been sanctioned under all  the  interventions/  verticals  of  PMGSY, against  which  6,70,065  km  road  length  has  been completed.

The  state-wise  and  vertical-wise  details  of  sanctioned  and  completed  works  are  given  at Annexure-I .
