As on 19.03.2026, 24 roads of length 189 km & 28 bridges are pending for construction in Kishanganj district. The vertical-wise breakup of the pending works in Kishanganj district, is as under:

| Vertical   |   No. of Roads |   Road Length (km) |   No. of Bridges |
|------------|----------------|--------------------|------------------|
| PMGSY-I    |              0 |                  0 |                1 |
| PMGSY-III  |             24 |                189 |               27 |
| Total      |             24 |                189 |               28 |

The timeline  for  completion  of  PMGSY-I  is  March  2027  &  for PMGSY-III, it is March 2026.

Further, the allocation of funds for implementation of PMGSY is based  on  the  proposals  received  from  the  State/UT  and  depends, inter-alia,  on  works  in  hand,  execution  capacity  of  the  State,  and unspent balances of the previous release available with the State. Central share of funds are released to the States/UTs for implementation of the scheme and further, district/sub-district wise allocation is made by the States/UTs only.

The progress of implementation of PMGSY works is regularly reviewed by the Ministry by way of Performance Review Committee (PRC) Meetings, Regional Review Meetings (RRMs) and PreEmpowered/  Empowered  Committee  Meetings  with  the States (including State of Bihar).  Besides the above, special  review meetings/monthly review meetings are also held by the Secretary/Joint Secretary, Ministry of Rural Development with Chief Secretaries/ Secretaries of the States.
