## ANSWER

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

(a) to (c): The Budget Estimates (BE) for the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak  Yojana  (PMGSY)  have  been  maintained  consistently  at  Rs. 19,000 Crore since the Financial Year 2022-23.The year-wise details of  Budget  Estimates  (BE),  Revised  Estimates  (RE),  and  the  actual Central  Share  released  under  PMGSY  over  the  last  three  financial years and the current year (as of 10.03.2026) are as follows:

| Year                       | Budget Estimates   | Revised Estimates   | Central Share Release   |
|----------------------------|--------------------|---------------------|-------------------------|
| 2022-23                    | 19,000             | 19,000              | 18,996.20               |
| 2023-24                    | 19,000             | 17000               | 14049.79                |
| 2024-25                    | 19,000             | 14500               | 13376.46                |
| 2025-26 (as on 10.03.2026) | 19,000             | 11,000              | 5,089.61                |

There is unbroken chain of fund release under PMGSY. However, the  allocation  of  funds  to  the  States/  UTs  for  implementation  of PMGSY is made on the basis of works in hand, execution capacity of the States/UTs and unspent balances available with the States/UTs from  the  previous  years.  No  work  has  ever  been  impacted  due  to unavailability of funds under the scheme.

(d): The State/UT wise details of road projects sanctioned, completed  and  pending  under  various  verticals  of  PMGSY  as  on 10.03.2026 is given at Annexure-I.

(e): Funds under PMGSY are allocated to States (including Tamil Nadu) via Mother Sanctions issued against the sanctioned Value of Projects (VoP). Disbursement occurs upon receipt of fund proposals, subject  to  their  compliance  with  the  scheme's  operational  and financial guidelines.

(f): The  programme  is  monitored  at  regular  intervals  by  way  of Regional Review Meetings (RRMs), Performance Review Committee (PRC) Meetings and Pre-Empowered/Empowered Committee Meetings  with  the  States.  In addition to this,  special  review meetings/monthly  review  meetings  were  also  held  at  the  level  of Secretary/  Additional  Secretary/Joint  Secretary,  Ministry  of  Rural Development  with  Chief  Secretaries/  Secretaries  of  the  States. Further, Physical and Financial progress are also tracked through the Programme MIS - the Online Management, Monitoring and Accounting System (OMMAS). Furthermore, the District Development Coordination  and  Monitoring  Committee  (DISHA),  headed  by  the Hon'ble  Member  of  Parliament,  provides  local  oversight  to  ensure projects are completed on schedule.
