## ANSWER

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

(a): A  total  of  8,39,322  km  of  road  length  has  been  sanctioned under all verticals/ interventions of Pradhan Mantri Gram SadakYojana (PMGSY) since its inception to till 4 th  December, 2025 and  7,86,762  kms  road  length  has  been  completed.  The  State/UTwise  status  of  construction  and  upgradation  of  rural  roads  under various  interventions/verticals  of  PMGSY,  since  inception  till  date (as  on  3.12.2025)  may  be  accessed  on  the  programme  website  at https://pmgsy.dord.gov.in/  >  Progress  Monitoring  ->  State  Abstract Report. The timeline for completion of ongoing works under PMGSY I  (in  Chhattisgarh), PMGSY II, III and Road Connectivity Project for Left Wing Extremism Affected Areas (RCPLWEA) is March 2026.

- (b): The Unit for connectivity under PMGSY-I is 'Habitation' and not a Revenue Village or Gram Panchayat or hamlet. A total of 1,63,302 habitations  have  been  sanctioned  and  out  of  which,  1,62,775 habitations  have  already  been  provided  connectivity  in  various States/  UTs.  Thus,  99.68%  of  targeted  habitations  have  been provided all-weather road connectivity. The timeline for completion of  works  under  PMGSY  I  for  the  above  States  was  March,  2025 (except Chhattisgarh). The State/UT-wise details may be accessed at programme website https://pmgsy.dord.gov.in/-> Progress Monitoring -> Habitation Coverage under PMGSY.
- (c) & (d): 'Rural Roads' is a state subject. As per PMGSY guidelines, ensuring the quality of road works is the responsibility of the respective State  Governments  who  are  implementing the programme. However, in order to monitor the quality of roads being constructed  under  the  programme,  a three-tiered  quality  control mechanism, i.e. the Project Implementation Units (PIUs) as the first tier, State Quality Monitors (SQMs) as the second tier and National Quality Monitors (NQMs) as the third tier, is in place under PMGSY to ensure quality in construction of road works and the durability of road assets. Guidelines to regulate the quality control process have been issued to States from time to time.

Online Management Monitoring and Accounting System (OMMAS) is used for monitoring the progress and quality of PMGSY projects assessed by independent quality monitors that helps in real time  monitoring  and  brings  transparency  in  ensuring  the  quality infrastructure in rural areas.

To address public complaints, the Government  has  also launched  the  MeriSadak  mobile  application,  enabling  citizens  to report  damaged  roads  or  incomplete  construction.  The  app  links users  directly  with  authorities  under  the  Pradhan  Mantri  Gram SadakYojana (PMGSY) for timely resolution of issues.

- (e): The funds for the implementation of the scheme are released by the Ministry to the State as a whole. The funds to the States are released on the basis of works in hand, their execution capacity & performance and unspent balances of the previous releases

available  with  them.  Funds  are  released  by  the  Ministry  to  the consolidated fund of the State Government. Further district and subdistrict  wise  releases  are  made  by  the  State  Government.  The details of central share of funds released state-wise & year-wise are given at Annexure. The state-wise & year-wise details of expenditure incurred (including state share) may be seen at https://pmgsy.dord.gov.in/ -> Progress Monitoring -> MPR1. (f): Various independent evaluation studies have been conducted by NITI Aayog, Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (IIM-A), World Bank and International Labour Organization (ILO), on PMGSY, which have concluded that PMGSY has helped in better access of marketplace  for  the  rural  masses  and  generated  employments  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  profoundly impacted agriculture, health, education, urbanization and employment generation.  The  PMGSY  has  affected  rural  masses  of all the States in a very positive way by emerging as a facilitator and precursor to various developmentalactivities.
