## ANSWER

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

- (a)         Pradhan  Mantri  Gram  Sadak  Yojana  (PMGSY) was launched  in  the  year  2000  to provide all-weather road connectivity to unconnected habitations of population size 500+ in plain areas and 250+ in North-eastern States, Hills and other special areas. PMGSY-II was started  in  2013  with  a  target  to  upgrade  50,000  Km  of  the  existing  rural  road  network  to improve its overall efficiency as a provider of transportation services for people, goods and services. Subsequently, Road  Connectivity Project for Left Wing  Extremism  Areas (RCPLWEA)  was  launched  in  2016  with  an  aim  to  improve  the  road  connectivity  in  44 districts in 9 States.

PMGSY-III was launched in 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. All the projects under PMGSY-I &II are targeted for completion by September 2022.  The time-line for completion of RCPLWEA is March, 2023. The implementation period of PMGSY-III is upto March, 2025.

A total of 7,94,575 Km  road length has been sanctioned under various ongoing interventions/verticals of PMGSY, out of which 7,12,855  Km road length has already been completed and 65,675 Km  road length are at various stages of execution. The intervention/vertical wise physical achievements under PMGSY  since inception till 28.07.2022 are given below:

## (Road length in Km)

| Name of intervention/vertical   | Sanctioned   | Completed   | Balance*   |
|---------------------------------|--------------|-------------|------------|
| PMGSY-I                         | 6,45,566     | 6,17,137    | 13,290     |
| PMGSY-II                        | 49,881       | 47,583      | 1,815      |
| RCPLWEA                         | 12,082       | 6,275       | 5,761      |
| PMGSY III                       | 87,046       | 41,860      | 44,809     |
| Total:                          | 7,94,575     | 7,12,855    | 65,675     |

* Balance road length is less than the difference of sanctioned and completed length due to the reasons that some projects were completed with less than the sanctioned length due to reduction in road length, change in alignment, construction of part length by other agencies, etc. (b)        The allocation/release of funds to the State for implementation of PMGSY is done on the basis of the proposal received from the state which inter-alia depends on works in hand, execution capacity of the State and unspent balances available with the State.  The funds for implementation  of  the  scheme  are  released  by  the  Ministry  to  the  State  as  whole.  Further release of funds to the Programme Implantation Units (PIUs) at the district level is done by the respective State Governments depending upon the absorption capacity of the PIU. Under PMGSY there is unbroken chain of funds release and sanctioned works have not got affected due to inadequate funds.  However,  sometimes  funds  released  from  Central Government  are  not  transferred  timely  from  state  treasury  to  the  account  of  State  Nodal Agency  which  may  temporarily  impact  the  progress  of  works.  As  per  the  available information, the State of Kerala has an unspent balance of Rs. 135.84 crore as on 28.07.2022. (c)         The  details  of  the  Central  share  of  funds  released  by  the  Ministry  and  expenditure incurred  by  the  States  (including  State  share)  during  each  of  the  last  three  years  and  the current year, State-wise are given in Annexure.
