## ANSWER

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

- (a):   The Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) was launched in the year 2000 as a one-time special intervention to provide rural connectivity through a single all-weather road to eligible unconnected  habitations  of  the  prescribed  population  size,  as  per Census 2001. During the last ten years, sustained efforts have been made to expedite the completion of targeted habitations. Against a total target of 72,944 of habitations nationwide, 50,463 of habitations have been provided all-weather road connectivity in various States/UTs, including Maharashtra, achieving approximately 69% of the targeted coverage. The State-wise details including Maharashtra during the last ten years is given at Annexure-I.

- (b):    The  Ratnagiri-Sindhudurg  Lok  Sabha  Constituency  comprises two  districts,  namely  Ratnagiri  and  Sindhudurg.  Under  PMGSY, Ratnagiri  district  has  achieved  100%  connectivity,  with  all  50 sanctioned eligible habitations connected by all-weather roads. Similarly, in Sindhudurg district, all 29 eligible habitations have been successfully provided with road connectivity under the programme, thereby ensuring full coverage of eligible habitations in the constituency sanctioned under PMGSY.
- (c)  &  (d):    The  funds  for  the  implementation  of  the  scheme  are released by the Ministry to the State as a whole and not district-wise. The funds are released on the basis of works in hand, the execution capacity  and  performance  and  unspent  balances  of  the  previous releases available with them. Till recently, the funds were released by the Ministry to the consolidated fund of the State Government. Further,  district  and  sub-district  wise  releases  were  made  by  the State  Government.  From  mid-2025  onwards,  the  fund  release  is through SNA Sparsh system. The details of release of central share of funds state/UT-wise during the last ten years and current year are given at Annexure-II.
