## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT (SHRI KAMLESH PASWAN)

(a):  "Rural road" is a State subject. The Government of India as a part  of  poverty  reduction  strategy,  launched  the  Pradhan  Mantri Gram SadakYojana (PMGSY-I) on 25th December 2000 to assist the States through construction of rural roads. Under PMGSY, a total of 18,452  roads  of  1,38,161  km  road  length  where  sanctioned  and 31,313  roads  works  of  1,61,815  km  road  length  were  completed during the last five years starting from April, 2019 to March 2024. The State-wise details of the road works sanctioned and completed during  last  five  years  are  given  in  Annexure-I.  The  details  of District/State/UT-wise  roads  projects  sanctioned  and  constructed under  the  various  verticals  of  Pradhan  Mantri  Gram  SadakYojana

(PMGSY) is available at website omms.nic.in => Progress Monitoring

=> State MPR Abstract report.

- (b): The allocation/release of funds to the States for implementation  of  PMGSY  is  done  on  the  basis  of  the  proposal received from the State and depends, inter-alia, on works in hand, execution  capacity  of  the  State  and  unspent  funds  available  with the State. The details of the Central funds released by the Ministry and  expenditure  (including  State  share)  incurred  under  PMGSY, during  last  five  years,  State-wise  including  Punjab  are  given  in Annexure-II.

(c)&(d): Under  PMGSY  I,  eligible  unconnected  habitations  were taken  up  for  providing  connectivity  through  all-weather  roads. In Punjab, under 500+ population category, a total of 389 habitations were sanctioned for providing connectivity under the PMGSY-I and all  the  habitations  have  already  been  provided  connectivity  during the financial year 2013-14. Hence, no eligible unconnected habitation was balance for connectivity during last five years.

The district wise details of habitations sanctioned and connected in the State of Punjab are given in Annexure-III. The details of the habitations, district-wise and year-wise, under PMGSY may  be  accessed  at  the  program  website  omms.nic.in=>progress monitoring=>Habitation coverage report.

Other verticals viz. PMGSY II and PMGSY III were also started for  upgradation  of  rural  roads  for  better  connectivity  to  growth centres and for improved connectivity to schools, hospitals, Gramin Agricultural Markets, respectively.  Further, the Government of India has launched phase IV of PMGSY in September 2024 to provide allweather connectivity to 25,000 unconnected habitations of population  size  500+  in  plains,  250+  in  special  category  areas including Aspirational Districts/Blocks as per Census 2011. Eligible unconnected  habitations  in  Punjab  including  Kandi  and  border regions, if any, will also be covered under the scheme.
