## ANSWER

MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT

(SADHVI NIRANJAN JYOTI)

- (a)  Pradhan  Mantri  Gram  Sadak  Yojana  (PMGSY)  was  launched  as  a one-time special intervention to provide rural connectivity, by way of a single  all-weather  road,  to  the  eligible  unconnected  habitations  of designated  population  size  (500+  in  plain  areas  and  250+  in  NorthEastern States, Himalayan States, Desert and Tribal Areas as per 2001 census) in the core network for uplifting the socio-economic condition

of  the  rural  population. In  the  critical  Left  Wing  Extremism  affected blocks (as identified by Ministry of Home Affairs), additional relaxation has been given to connect habitations with population  of 100 persons and above (2001 census). 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  for  social  and  economic  development.  Accordingly,  in  the year 2013, PMGSY-II was launched for upgradation of selected through Routes  and  Major  Rural  Link  with  a  target  to  upgrade  50,000  km  in various  states  and  Union  Territories.  In  the  year  2019,  Government launched PMGSY-III for consolidation of 1,25,000 km Through Routes and  Major  Rural  Links  connecting  inter-alia,  to  Gramin  Agriculture

Market(GrAMs), higher secondary Schools and Hospitals.

- and Rural Roads Manual

-  Three-tier Quality Management System
-  Grievance Redressal Mechanism (Meri Sadak App)
-  Unbroken flow of funds

- (b)  Parliamentary constituency-wise data is not maintained within the Ministry. There are three districts within Giridih Parliamentary Constituency  viz.  Giridih,  Bokaro  and  Dhanbad.

- (c)  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 it. The details of Central share released  and  expenditure  incurred  (including  State  share)  to  the States/UTs is given in Annexure-II.
- (d)&(e)   The  achievements  made  so  far  along  with  the  details  of pending  works,  State-wise;  is  given  in  Annexure-III.  The timeline  for completion of PMGSY-I & II is March, 2024 and for PMGSY-III is March 2025.
- (f)    Under  PMGSY-I,  habitations  with  population  (census,  2001)   of 500+  in  plain  areas  and  250+   in  North-East  and  Himalayan  States, Desert  areas,  Tribal  (Schedule  V)  areas  and  88  Selected  Tribal  and Backward districts (as identified by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) were eligible for providing connectivity. In addition to above to ensure improved road connectivity under PMGSY for most remote and tribal areas,  additional  relaxation  has  been  given  to  connect  habitations with  population  100  to  249  persons  in  Left  Wing  Extremism  (LWE) affected blocks as identified by the MHA.
