## ANSWER

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

(a) The Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) was launched with the objective 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  and  Himalayan  Union  Territories,  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  100  persons  and above  (2001  census).  The  mandate  of  the  scheme  was  subsequently  widened  and  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;   Road  Connectivity  Project  for  Left  Wing  Extremism  Affected  Areas (RCPLWEA) for construction/upgradation of strategically important roads; 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 were launched.

The  main  features  of  PMGSY  are  decentralized  and  evidence  based  planning,  standards  and specifications as per Indian  Road  Congress  (IRC)  and  Rural  Roads  Manual,  dedicated implementation  mechanism  at  central,  state  and  district  level,  scrutiny  of  Detailed  Project Reports  (DPRs)  at  multiple  level,  strong  IT  backbone  for  monitoring  and  implementation  of programme, three-tier quality management system, unbroken flow of funds, inbuilt mechanism for consultation with public representatives at planning, selection of roads and monitoring stages, etc.

- (b) The State of Rajasthan has been allocated target length of 8,662.5 Km under PMGSY-III, against which the State has already been sanctioned 5,821.363 Km.  The district-wise break-up of roads sanctioned under PMGSY-III is given at Annexure-I .
- (c) The details regarding States/UTs-wise status, including the State of Rajasthan of value of projects  sanctioned,  central  and  state  shares  of  value  of  project  and  central  share  released,   is attached  at Annexure-II .  The  release  of  funds  to  the  States/UTs  depends  on  works  in  hand, execution capacity, unspent balance available with the state etc. Thus, the states have sufficient funds to execute works at hand.
- (d) There is no proposal under consideration of the Government of as of now for next phase of the scheme.
- (e) Dausa district of Rajasthan is included in 3 rd phase  of  PMGSY. A total of 22 roads of 183.450 Km have been sanctioned to the district so far under PMGSY-III.
