## ANSWER

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

- (a)      A total of 7,00,452 Km road length has been constructed under various interventions of  Pradhan  Mantri  Gram  Sadak  Yojana  (PMGSY) as  on  30 th March,  2022.  The  details  of road length constructed state-wise, district-wise and year-wise under various interventions of PMGSY may be accessed at the programme website omms.nic.in=>progress monitoring=>Financial Year wise Achievement.

As informed by the state government, under PMGSY-I & II,  a total of 15 bridges and 164 roads of 744.55 km length were sanctioned in the Ramtek constituency and all works have been completed. Under PMGSY-III, 24 roads of 169.15 km length have been sanctioned in Ramtek parliamentary constituency.

- (b) PMGSY-I  was  launched  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 and Himalayan Union Territories as per 2001 census) in the core network for uplifting the  socio-economic  condition  of  the  rural  population.  Relaxation  has  been  provided  to  the Desert Areas (as identified in the Desert Development Programme), the Tribal (Schedule V) areas  and  Selected  Tribal  and  Backward  Districts  (as  identified  by  the  Ministry  of  Home Affairs (MHA) and Planning Commission) and unconnected habitations in these areas with a population of 250 persons and above in the Core Network as per Census 2001 are eligible for connectivity  under  the  scheme.  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 as per 2001 census. The Scheme had also an element of upgradation (to prescribed standards) of existing rural roads in districts where all  the  eligible  habitations  of  the  designated  population  size  have  been  connected  with  allweather road connectivity.

Under PMGSY-II, launched in 2013, which envisages upgradation of the existing rural road network, the selection of roads in a particular district/ block has been done by the States/ UTs based  on  the  utility  value  of  the  eligible  roads  computed  on  the  basis  of  their  economic potential and their role in facilitating the growth of rural market centres and rural hubs.

Under Road Connectivity  Project  for  Left  Wing  Extremism  Affected  Areas  (RCPLWEA), which was launched in 2016 with the twin objectives of enabling smooth and seamless antiLWE operations by the security forces and also ensuring socio-economic development of the area,  the  selection  of  the  projects  is  done  by  the  Ministry  of  Home  Affairs  in  consultation with the states and security forces.

Under  PMGSY-III,  launched  in  2019,  which  envisages  consolidation  of  existing  Through Routes and Major Rural Links, the selection of roads in a particular district/block is done by the States/UTs based on the utility value of the eligible roads computed on the basis of the population served by the road and market, educational, medical and transport infrastructure facilities connected by the concerned road.

(c)         As  per  the  information  provided  by  the  state  government  the  details  of  roads sanctioned  for  the  districts  of  Ramtek  Nagpur,  Ratnagiri-Sindhudurg  and  Osmanabad Parliamentary constituencies of Maharashtra during the last five years are given below:

| Osmanabad            | 22             | 147.52              |

(d)&(e)   The  eligibility  under  PMGSY  is  determined  on  the  basis  of  habitations  to  be connected.
