The year-wise details are given below:-

| Length Constructed (km)   | Length Constructed (km)   | Length Constructed (km)   | Length Constructed (km)   |
|---------------------------|---------------------------|---------------------------|---------------------------|
| Year(s)                   | Madhya Pradesh            | Maharashtra               | Nagpur (Maharashtra)      |
| 2020-21                   | 2,957.441                 | 180.500                   | 0.00                      |
| 2021-22                   | 4,443.945                 | 199.16                    | 47.27                     |
| 2022-23                   | 3,731.63                  | 1,143.70                  | 78.48                     |
| 2023-24                   | 909.95                    | 1,570.12                  | 81.13                     |
| 2024-25                   | 559.146                   | 2,046.45                  | 3.87                      |
| Total:                    | 12,602.11                 | 5,139.93                  | 210.75                    |

No PMGSY proposal was received from the Union Territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli.

Further,  the  State  wise  and  District-wise  details  of  rural  road projects  completed  under  various  interventions  of  PMGSY  may  be accessed at the programme website ommas.nic.in->progress monitoring->Financial Year wise Achievement.

- (b): The  allocation of funds to the State for  implementation of PMGSY  is  done  on  the  basis  of  the  proposal  received  from  the State which inter-alia depends on works in hand, execution capacity of  the  State  and  unspent  balance  available  with  the  State.  The funds for implementation of the scheme are released by the Ministry to the State as a whole and not district wise. The budget allocated and spent under the PMGSY during the last five years and current financial year are given at Annexure.
- (c): PMGSY has helped in better  access  to  marketplaces  for  the rural population and generated employment in various forms. It has also helped in improving socio-economic conditions of people living around  the  area.  Thus,  it  has  helped  in  removing  poverty  and unemployment.  The  scheme  has  impacted agriculture, health, education,  urbanization  and  employment  generation  in  a  big  way. The PMGSY has affected the life of rural population of all the States including Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh in a very positive way by emerging as a facilitator and precursor to various developmental activities.
- (d): PMGSY envisages a three tier  Quality  Assurance  Mechanism to ensure quality of road works during construction. First-tier of this mechanism is in-house quality control at Programme Implementation  Unit  (PIU)  level.  Second-tier  is  structured  as  an independent quality monitoring at State level through State Quality Monitors (SQMs) in which provision of regular inspection of PMGSY works has been envisaged. The third-tier is an independent monitoring mechanism at the Central level. Under this tier, independent  National  Quality  Monitors  (NQMs)  are  engaged  for

inspections  of  PMGSY  roads,  selected  at  random.   To  promote transparency  in  the  Scheme,  it  is  being  ensured  that  independent monitors  at  the  second  and  the  third  tier  take  at  least  10  digital photographs at the work site including one of the field laboratories, for each road work inspected and upload the inspection reports on PMGSY programme management & monitoring website i.e. OMMAS, to facilitate public viewing of quality of road works being executed under  the  programme.   Also  the  abstract  of  the  said  Inspection Report is uploaded on OMMAS. Further, to promote transparency and effective monitoring, the PMGSY  programme  guidelines  provide  that  the  Superintending Engineer  of  a  zone/region  will  request  the  concerned  Member of Parliament and ZilaPanchayatPramukh representing the zone/region, once in six months, to select any PMGSY project(s) for joint  inspection.  Similarly,  the  Executive  Engineer  in-charge  of  a division  will  request  the  MLA/  Chairperson  of  the  Intermediate Panchayat concerned, once in three months for joint inspection and the  Assistant  Engineer  in-charge  of  the  sub-division  will  similarly request the concerned Sarpanch of the Gram Panchayat once in two months to select any PMGSY project(s) for joint inspection.
