## ANSWER

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

(a)  'Rural roads' is a state subject. Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) is a onetime  special  intervention  launched  by  Government  of  India  on  25th  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  Special Category States (i.e. Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim, Tripura, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir and Uttarakhand), 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 and Planning  Commission),  the objective  is  to  connect  eligible  unconnected  habitations  with  a population of 250 persons and above (Census 2001). For most intensive Integrated Action Plan (IAP) blocks as identified by Ministry of Home Affairs the unconnected habitations with population 100 and above (as per 2001 Census) is eligible to be covered under PMGSY.

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, in the year 2013, PMGSYII was launched for upgradation of selected Through Routes and Major Rural Links (MRLs) with a target to upgrade 50,000 Km in various States and Union Territories.

Subsequently,  in  2016,  Road  Connectivity  Project  for  Left  Wing  Extremism  (LWE) Affected Areas (RCPLWEA) for construction/upgradation of strategically important roads was launched in thw 9 LWE affected states, as a separate vertical under PMGSY. In the year 2019, Government launched 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.

Thus,  the  objective  of  PMGSY  has  been  to  provide  connectivity  and  to  consolidate  the existing rural network by linking them to through routes, major district roads, state highways and national highways with a focus to develop the rural areas of the country. (b) As on 30.11.21,  the State/UT wise details of road works constructed during the last three years  and  the  current  year  under  all  the  4  verticals  of  PMGSY   (PMGSY-I,  II,  III  & RCPLWEA) including that of Chhattisgarh are given at Annexure-I . (c)         Under  PMGSY,  funds  are  released  by  the  Central  Government  for  construction  of roads which leads to the development of the villages in rural areas. During the last three years and  the  current  year,  State/  UT  wise  details  of  funds  released  and  expenditure  incurred (including state share) under all the 4 verticals  of  PMGSY   (PMGSY-I,  II,  III  & RCPLWEA) are given at Annexure-II. (d) & (e)       The third phase of PMGSY was launched in 2019. The State/UT wise details of length allocated, sanctioned and constructed under PMGSY-III including that of Chhattisgarh

- are given at Annexure-III
