Programme Objective and Guiding Principles

Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana

100 % Central Government Funded Scheme launched on 25th December 2000.

Main Objective of the Yojana to provide Connectivity, by way of an All-weather Road to the eligible unconnected Habitations in the rural areas

The aim is to provide connectivity to all eligible habitations.Habitation is a cluster of population, living in an area, the location of which does not change over time.

The population, as recorded in the Census 2001, shall be the basis for determining the population size of the Habitation.

The population of all Habitations within a radius of 500 metres may be clubbed together for the purpose of determining the population size.

The habitation with a distance of 500 meters from road is considered as connected.


Programme Objective and Guiding Principles Cont.

A Core Network is that minimal Network of roads that is essential to provide Basic access to essential social and economic services to all eligible habitations through at least a single all-weather road connectivity.

A Core Network comprises of Through Routes and Link Routes


Programme Objective and Guiding Principles

Core network forms the basis of road selection under PMGSY

Cont.

Through routes are the ones which collect traffic from several link roads or a long chain of Habitations and lead it to Marketing centres either directly or through MDRs, SH or NH.

Link Routes are the roads connecting a single Habitation or a group of Habitations to Through Routes. They generally have dead ends.



The Yojana envisages FARM to MARKET connectivity. Hence construction of link roads along with associated through routs for up gradation is allowed.

Road work that is taken up under the PMGSY must be a part of the Core Network.

Priority is to be given to roads covering 1000+ Habitations first, 500+ Habitations next.



Habitations within a distance of 500 metres from the road is considered as connected in case of plain areas.

Only single connectivity is provided under this scheme. If the habitation is already connected by some road, another connectivity to that habitation cannot be provided through this scheme.

Rural Roads constructed under PMGSY will be in accordance with the provision of the Rural Roads Manual (IRC:SP20:2002) and specifications for Rural Roads, 2004, published by IRC.



The District Rural Roads Plan and the Core Network would constitute the basis for all planning exercises under the PMGSY

The District Rural Roads Plan indicate the entire existing road network system in the District and also clearly identify the proposed roads for providing connectivity to Unconnected Habitations.

The Core Network identifies the roads required to assure each eligible habitation with a single all-weather road connectivity.


Comprehensive Planning under PMGSY

Thus, the Core Network consists of some of the existing roads aswell as all the roads proposed for new construction under PMGSY

While proposing new alignment in DRRP, due weight age is given to the priority spelt out by PRIs in consultation with Local MLA/MP.

Core network is approved by district Panchayat after incorporating the views and suggestion of Member of Parliament of that area.

Based on this, CNCPL, Comprehensive new connectivity priority list and CUPL, Comprehensive up-gradation priority list is prepared from the core network

PMGSY under Bharat Nirman

Government of India, in Year 2005 launched “Bharat Nirman” - As a business plan for rebuilding rural India.

Providing all weather road connectivity (through PMGSY) to all population above 1000 by end of year 2009 is one of the six components of Bharat Nirman

Our Targets under Bharat Nirman


BRRDA – The State Executing Agency

Bihar Rural Road Development Agency, BRRDA, under the administrative control of Rural Works Department, GoB is the nodal agency to execute PMGSY in the State


BRRDA is having its programme implementation units (PIU) in the field for execution of PMGSY. Presently, the works division are working as PIUs with the divisional executive engineers being the Ex-officio members of BRRDA.

The Departmental minister is the Ex-officio President BRRDA, the Principal Secretary of the Department is the Ex-officio Vice President and the E-in-C or Senior most Chief Engineer of the department is the Secretary cum Empowered officer of BRRDA.

DPR is prepared by PIU from the From CNCPL/ CUPL (Core Network) as per the the technical specifications and geometric design standards given in the Rural Roads Manual of the IRC (IRC:SP20:2002).

The cost of preparing DPR, including investigation, survey and testing forms the part of the project cost and is met out ofthe administrative fund provided by NRRDA

The detailed estimates will be based on the State Schedule of Rates (SSR) prepared using the Book of Specifications and Standard Data Book prescribed by the NRRDA.


Project Proposal & its Clearance


Project Proposal & its Clearance Cont.

NRRDA is headed by DG NRRDA with the organizational structure as:

Director General

Director Technical Director Projects-I Director Projects-II Director Projects-III Director Finance IT Cell

(Along with the support Staff)


Quality Control in PMGSY

A three-tier Quality Control mechanism is envisaged under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana

1st Tier – At the local level, involving the contractor and the supervisory staff who is responsible for the quality of all the materials utilized and ensuring the workmanship conforms to the prescribed specifications.

2nd Tier – An independent check of the quality through periodic checks by State Quality Monitors, engaged by the State Government, independent of PIU.

3rd Tier – Independent inspection of works by National Quality Monitors, (NQM) engaged by Central Government out of experienced retired engineers from the other States.


Fund Flow in PMGSY

The SRRDA selects a bank with internet connectivity to maintain the ProgrammeAccount, Administrative Account and maintenance account of PMGSY.

A tripartite agreement is signed between the Bank, State Government and the Government of India wherein the parties agree to abide PMGSY guidelines.

Government of India directly credits the fund in the BRRDA Account at HQs. PIUsdo not have separate bank accounts.

Head of PIUs (Divisional Executive Engineer) are the authorized signatory for issuing the cheques.

The Empowered Officer informs the name and furnishes the sample signature of Authorised Signatories to the bank, for issuing cheques on the Agency’s bank accounts.

The bank issues a separate cheque book to each of the authorized signatory.


Monitoring of PMGSY Schemes

The On-line Management and Monitoring System (OMMAS) is the chief mechanism for monitoring the programme

The PIUs are required to furnish, On-line, all the data and information, in the relevant module of the OMMAS.

For effective on-line monitoring, PIUs are responsible for uninterrupted maintenance of the Computer Hardware and internet connectivity.

Continued failure to update data on the OMMAS would stop the release of funds from NRRDA.

The national portal of PMGSY wherein all the information regarding PMGSY is available is www.pmgsyonline.nic.in

PMGSY in itself is not the end goal. It is just a means to achieve the better standards of education, health, rural incomesetc. for the people living in the remote areas.


Convergence

PMGSY envisages a larger role of public participation through Panchayati Raj Institutions, as it is the local community who is the end users of these roads.
