## ANSWER

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

(a)  &  (b) ' Rural  Roads'  is  a  State  subject  and    Pradhan  Mantri  Gram  Sadak  Yojana (PMGSY) is a one-time special intervention to provide rural connectivity, by way of a single all-weather  road,  to  the  eligible  unconnected  habitations  in  the  core  network.  As  per programme guidelines, the unit of this programme is a habitation and not a Gram Panchayat. The fund for implementation of the scheme is released by the Ministry to the state as whole. Further release of funds to the programme implementation units (PIUs) at the district level is done  by  the  respective  state  depending  on  the  expenditure  to  be  done.  Programme  funds under PMGSY are released on the basis of certain documents, as specified in the Programme Guidelines and as intimated from time to time by the Ministry, which the States are required to submit along with their demand/proposal for release of funds. The allocation of funds to the  State  for  implementation  of  PMGSY  depends,  inter-alia,  on  works  in  hand,  execution capacity of the State and unspent balance of previous year(s) available with the State. The block-wise and district wise list of road sanctioned, completed and ongoing projects can be accessed at programme website: www.omms.nic.in => proposals => state wise list of roads.
