## ANSWER

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

- (a): The details of the total Central share of funds released by the Ministry  under  PMGSY,  since  inception  (as  on  06.03.2025),  Statewise including Karnataka are given in Annexure-I.
- (b): The District wise details of road work sanctioned, completed and the balance work are available at the programme website under PMGSY. The details of website is mentioned below:-
- Omms.nic.in → progress monitoring →physical progress → road wise list of projects
- (c): Under PMGSY, maintenance of rural roads is the responsibility of  the  State/  UT  Governments.  The  Ministry  had  issued  guidelines for maintenance of roads constructed under the programme. Under PMGSY, roads are covered under a 5-year maintenance contract to

be  entered  into  along  with  a  construction  contract  with  the  same contractor as per the Standard Bidding Document (SBD).  Since the design  life  of  PMGSY  roads  is  ten  years,  the  States  have  to undertake further five years of maintenance. A MoU has been signed with States/UTs to emphasize on maintenance of roads constructed under PMGSY.  The  Ministry has also implemented e-MARG i.e. software module for maintenance payments to the contractor during the defect liability period. The post five-year construction module of eMARG  incorporates  initial  rehabilitation,  renewal,  pre-  renewal routine  maintenance,  post-renewal  maintenance  and  emergency repair works, as required. Maintenance funds to service the contract are required to be budgeted by the State Governments and placed  at  the  disposal  of  the  State  Rural  Roads  Development Agencies (SRRDAs) in a separate maintenance account. On expiry of  this  5  year  post  construction  maintenance,  PMGSY  roads  are required to be placed under Zonal maintenance contracts consisting of 5 year maintenance including renewal as per cycle, from time to time.

In  Kodagu  district  the  works  which  are  sanctioned  under  PMGSY are given below:

| PMGSY   | Sanctioned   | Sanctioned   | Completed          |
|---------|--------------|--------------|--------------------|
|         |              | NoLength in  | kmsNoLength in kms |
| I       | 47           | 169.90       | 47 169.90          |
| II      | 8            | 40.07        | 8 40.11            |
| III     | 13           | 83.84        | 13 82.95           |
| Total   | 68           | 293.81       | 68 292.96          |

The  State  has  informed  that  due  maintenance  of  these  roads  is being undertaken.

(d): A total of 12 Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTG) habitations  in  Kodagu  District  of  Karnataka  have  been sanctioned road connectivity under the Pradhan MantriJanjatiAadivasiNyayaMahaAbhiyan (PM-JANMAN), These roads  have  been  sanctioned  for  13.19  Km  length  at  a  cost  of Rs.11.84  crore.   This  new  initiative  aims  at  providing  all-weather connectivity to these areas which will lead to their socio-economic development.

Also, The  Union  Cabinet  on  11 th  September,  2024  has  approved implementation  of  the  Pradhan  Mantri  Gram  SadakYojana  -  IV (PMGSY-IV)  during  FY  2024-25  to  2028-29.  PMGSY-IV  aims  at providing new connectivity to eligible 25,000 unconnected habitations  of  population size  500+  in  plains,  250+  in  NE  &  Hill Sates/UTs, special category areas (Tribal Schedule V, Aspirational Districts/Blocks, Desert areas) and 100+ in LWE affected districts as per Census 2011.  The  outlay of this scheme is Rs.70,125 crore.
