- (d): The  Government  is  monitoring  the  progress  of  road  projects under PMGSY, including under PM JANMAN, through various digital technologies and online platforms. The Online Management, Monitoring and Accounting System (OMMAS) is used for monitoring the physical and financial progress of the projects. Additionally, the e-MARG  (electronic  Maintenance  of  Rural  Roads  under  PMGSY) platform is being implemented for monitoring the routine and periodic maintenance  of  roads.  Further,  the  use  of  Geo-tagging  through  a mobile application enables real-time monitoring and verification of assets created under the scheme. All PMGSY and PM JANMAN roads and bridges are geo-tagged with photographs at different stages of construction.  The  implementation  is  also  supported  by  GIS-based

planning  tools  and  dashboards  for  better  decision-making  and transparency. In addition, there is a provision for regular review of maintenance of PMGSY by the Ministry by way of Regional Review Meetings (RRMs), Performance Review Committee (PRC) Meetings, Pre-Empowered/ Empowered Committee Meetings with the States. Besides above, special review meetings/monthly review meetings are also  held  by  the  Secretary/  Additional  Secretary/Joint  Secretary, Ministry  of  Rural  Development,  with  Chief  Secretaries/Principal Secretaries of the States to take stock of the progress of the scheme, including maintenance aspects.

Under the PMGSY, to bring execution of the programme to the desired quality standards, a three-tier quality management mechanism has been institutionalised, which ensures the durability of  road  assets  under  PMGSY.  Under  the  first  tier,  the  Programme Implementation Units (PIUs) are required to ensure process control through mandatory tests on material and workmanship at the field laboratory.  The  second  tier  is  a  structured  independent  quality monitoring at the State level through State Quality Monitors (SQMs) to ensure that every work is inspected at the initial stage, middle stage  and  final  stage  of  the  construction.  Under  the  third  tier, independent  National  Quality  Monitors  (NQMs)  are  deployed  by National Rural Infrastructure Development Agency (NRIDA), a technical  arm  of  the  Ministry,  for  inspection  of  road  works  on  a random sample basis, not only to monitor quality but also to provide guidance  by  senior  professionals  to  the  field  functionaries.  The observations of NQMs are sent for action to the State Governments, and Action Taken Reports (ATRs) are monitored at the technical arm of the Ministry viz. NRIDA. Based on the periodic monitoring of the quality  of  roads  under  the  3-tier  mechanism,  corrective  measures, wherever necessary, are taken by the State Governments

(e): With the aim of reaching out to 22000 Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTG) majority tribal habitations and PVTG families in 200 districts across the country, the Union Ministry of Tribal Affairs has  initiated  an  Information,  Education,  and  Communication  (IEC) campaign for the PM-JANMAN. The Union Cabinet has approved the mission, which focuses on 11 critical interventions related to 9 key aligned Ministries/Departments, with a budgetary outlay of Rs. 24,104 crores.  While  the  impact  evaluation  study  of  road  connectivity component of PM JANMAN will be undertaken after completion of works,  various  independent  evaluation  studies  on  PMGSY  have concluded that it has improved access to education and health care facilities,  facilitated  employment generation in both farm and nonfarm sectors, helped farmers in getting better farm prices etc. PMGSY

roads have provided better education opportunities to the children particularly girl child to continue  their  education  beyond  the elementary  school  level.  Health  facilities  are  being  accessible  to people. Women have been the major beneficiary, with most of the child  birth  taking  place  in  government  hospitals  and  also  their participation in financial decisions has increased and it is reflected in their market accessibility. This scheme also addresses the various Sustainable Development Goals on poverty alleviation.

No proposals have been received and sanctioned for Palghar (Maharashtra) and Dahod (Gujarat) under PMJANMAN. The details of sanctions  in  the  States  of  Gujarat  and  Maharashtra  under  PMJANMAN are given in Annexure II.

No proposal is pending for sanction at MoRD / NRIDA for the States of Maharashtra and Gujarat under PM-JANMAN.
