Abstract

Pardhan mantra grm sadak yojana are a scheme for the rural India. This project is about the

management of PMGSY. There are talking about the problem come in that project and the

budget for that project. The construction of rural roads brings multifaceted benefits to the till

now deprived rural areas and is seen as an effective poverty reduction strategy. The economic

benefits of rural roads include increase in agricultural production, changes in cropping pattern,

better prices for agriculture produce, reduction in transportation cost, creation of new

employment opportunities in farm and off-farm sectors, lower prices for important commodities

for rural consumers, better climate for setting up cottage and agro-Industries, increase in

production of dairy products, etc. The impact of new link on social life of rural population is

reflected in the form of better medical care, more attendance in school and colleges, better

availability of public services, higher levels of social interaction. Rural roads also change life

patterns. Improved connectivity will make daily communication to urban work places easier,

reducing migration, increasing rural employment and improving family life. Rural connectivity

enables increased penetration of better quality consumer items and durables, thus improving

quality of life. All this in turn, will simulate not merely the rural sector but the entire economy.

Introduction: -

Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana scheme for the improvement of the road of India .it is so

much important for India. The construction of rural roads brings multifaceted benefits to the till

now deprived rural areas and is seen as an effective poverty reduction strategy. The economic

benefits of rural roads include increase in agricultural production, changes in cropping pattern,

better prices for agriculture produce, reduction in transportation cost, creation of new

employment opportunities in farm and off-farm sectors, lower prices for important commodities

for rural consumers, better climate for setting up cottage and agro-Industries, increase in

production of dairy products, etc. The impact of new link on social life of rural population is

reflected in the form of better medical care, more attendance in school and colleges, better

availability of public services, higher levels of social interaction. Rural roads also change life

patterns. Improved connectivity will make daily communication to urban work places easier,

reducing migration, increasing rural employment and improving family life. Rural connectivity

enables increased penetration of better quality consumer items and durables, thus improving

quality of life. All this in turn, will simulate not merely the rural sector but the entire economy.

Government’s resolve to provide total Rural Connectivity was indicated in the address of the

President of India to the Joint Sitting of Parliament on 25 th October 1999, when a programmed of

Construction of All-weather roads in the rural areas was announced. then, in his address on 15 th

August 2000, the Prime Minister announced the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY),

as 100% centrally sponsored Scheme, with the target of connecting, through good All-weather

roads, every Habitation with the population more than 1000 within next 3 years and every

Habitation with the population of more than 500 by the year 2007. The programme was launched

on 25th Dec 2000 and Rs. 2500 crores were released to the state governments as additional central

assistance for the rural roads programme during 2000-01. The programme seeks to provide

connectivity to all Unconnected Habitation in the rural areas with the population of more than

500 persons, through good all weather roads, by the end of 10 th plan period. In respect of the hill

states (North-East, Sikkim, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Uttaranchal), desert areas and

tribal (Schedule-V) areas, the objective is to connect s with the population of 250 persons and

above. PMGSY as 100% Centrally Sponsored Scheme commenced from 2001-02 after Cabinet

approval on 7th August 2001.rural roads have been taken as one of the components and blended

with PMGSY programme. It targeted to provide connectivity to all habitations having population

of 1000 and above (500 and above in hilly, desert and tribal areas) by 2009 and also aimed to

upgrade the existing rural roads for overall network development, which is a more objective

approach.

To achieve the targets of Bharat Nirman, 1,46,185 km length of rural roads is proposed to be

constructed to benefit 66,802 unconnected eligible habitations in the country. It is also proposed

to upgrade nearly 1.94 lakh km length of the existing rural roads which are identified as the

through routes of the core network. The total investment on rural connectivity under Bharat

Nirman has been estimated at Rs. 48,000 crore during 2005-2009. Since 11th Five Year Plan

(2007-2011) goes beyond the targeted period of Bharat Nirman, assessment of physical targets

and up gradation requirements, have been estimated based on the experiences of PMGSY.

The financial requirement during the 11th Five Year Plan is estimated based on the physical

targets proposed and an amount of Rs. 79,000 crore is required to fulfill the targets estimated for

new connectivity and up gradation. For new connectivity alone, total amount required is

estimated as Rs. 50,000 crore for construction of 1.65 lakh km length benefiting approximately

78000 habitations. The total estimated amount required for the up gradation of the existing rural

roads of about 1.16 lakh km requires about Rs.29,000 crore during the 11th Five Year Plan

period as per PMGSY norms. In addition, State Governments have to borne for the additional

requirement of up gradation and as well as periodic renewal of about 1.2 lakh km length of core

network, which may be in the order of Rs.25,000 crore. For routine maintenance and periodical

renewal of the core network, an estimated length of 1.4 million km identified from the district

rural road plans (DRRP) needs Rs.1,40,000 million every year during the plan period.

National Rural Roads Development Agency:-

MoRD has set up the National Rural Roads Development Agency (NRRDA) to provide

to the PMGSY operational and management support,

Nodal Department

Executing Agency

Programme Implementation Unit (PIU)

Autonomous Agency (State Rural Roads Development Agency)

Features:-

Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana is a Centrally Sponsored Scheme executed through

State Government Agencies.

The main objective of the programme is to provide connectivity by all weather road to all

Unconnected Habitations, if the population have more than 500 persons ( population 250

and above in case of hill , tribal and desert areas). Up gradation, though not central to the

programme, would be allowed in case where connectivity is complete.

The total requirement of funds for the programme is of the order of Rs.60,000 crores

revised to Rs.1,32,000 crores in 2005. The available source of funds, i.e. 50% share of the

cess on High Speed Diesel, as per Central Road Fund Act, being inadequate to finance a

programme of this magnitude, the Ministry of Rural Development is authorized to take

appropriate steps in coordination with the Ministry of the Finance to generate additional

financial resources including by way of borrowing from, inter alia, the External Funding

Agencies such as the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank.

Execution of the programme will be in project mode through the National Rural Road

Development Agency, an agency set up under Ministry of Rural Development, to extend

support to the programme.

Planning:

The preparation of the District Rural Roads Plan as well as the Core Network helps in the

identification of the reads required to connect the unconnected Habitations as well as the network

of reads to assure Basic access (single all-weather road connectivity) to all the Habitations.

These plans are to be placed before the Panchayati Raj Institutions for approval.

Road was made from rohana to Kuteshra in U.P.The length of the road is 25 km.The cost of

the project was 25 crore.It start on the date on the date of 25 jun 2009 and completed at 2

September 2010.

Project name- pardhan mantra gram sadak yojna.

Road made- rohana to Kuteshra in U.P

Budget-25 crore

Duration- 6 month.

Project approach: The road works proposed each year are identified and are executed in a time

bound manner.

Technical standards: The roads under the PMGSY are designed and executed as per the

standards laid down the Indian Roads Congress.

Tendering: The roads works are tendered in packages of Rs. 25 crore, to attract competent

contractors with requisite equipment.

Quality control: A 3-tier Quality Control System has been designed to ensure the quality of the

road works. While the concerned Executive Engineer is the first tier, all the states have been

requested to enlist the services of a State level independent Agency to verify the quality of the

roads. On its part, the National Rural Roads Development Agency, an agency set up by the

Ministry of Rural development, engages senior technical personnel as National Quality Monitors

to inspect the road works.

Maintenance: The roads constructed under the PMGSY are to be sending maintained by the

Panchayati Raj Institutions. The maintenance was done by the contractor for one year .if the road

will broken from anywhere then it will be the responsibility of the contractor.

PROBLEM:-

Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana, a revolutionary step taken by the then NDA government

towards the rural development in India, as we know seventy percent of the population lives in

rural areas. Hence development of the rural community is the development of the whole country.

As a beginning step, PMGSY proved to be an agent of tremendous improvement in the rural

service provisions. The government plays a critical role in this process during the earlier stage.

As we know our country is a democratic based on Parliamentary system where in each five year

the people vote to elect a party to form a government in the centre? So sometimes it is found that

a particular party ruled/ rules for more than a single term where as some parties for a single term.

So in this case a developmental activity taken by a previous government is hampered by the next

government, either they fully stop that process or sometimes renamed that process in accordance

to their profit. For example, the Swarna Chaturbhuj Yojana, (connecting the four metropolises

through four lane highway) gets hampered with the change of government. So the main problem

here is to see the carryout of the PMGSY by the congress led UPA government. In addition, It

focused on future planning and engineering issues for providing, multiple connectivity, intra

village road development, performance based design, utilization of locally available and waste

materials in rural road works, maintenance management aspects, institutional and capacity

building issues, research and development needs and resources mobilization. Pradhan Mantri

Time problem:- Mostly project was not complete on time .that is the big problem in that

project. According to the rule of india ,any project complete within 6 month from when

the tender pass. But it take one year.

Budget problem: - Because the project was not complete on time so the budget of the

project increases. The cost of the project was increase and the quality was not up to the

mark.

Quality problem:- Quality problem is also come in that project.

Maintenance problem:- There was not proper maintenance of the road.

Solution

There are need more transparency in the tender.

Project should be completed on time to reduce the budget. For that purpose literate

people get the tender because they handle the project.

Release of funds:-

Since the Programme is being executed in a Project Mode, the release of funds depends on the

performance of the State in both physical and financial terms. Funds are now released to the

States only when they report completion of at least 80% of the road works of the first year and

utilize 60% of funds already released to the State. The Ministry and the National Rural Roads

Development Agency (NRRDA) are regularly reviewing the progress of works. The States,

particularly those with large number of Unconnected Habitations such as Uttar Pradesh, Bihar,

Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Orissa, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan and Assam, were

being urged to take steps to improve their absorption capacity. It has been impressed upon the

States that they need to critically scrutinise administrative procedure, delegate financial and

administrative powers, strengthen the Programme Implementation Units at the District level,

improve quality consciousness and put in place an effective monitoring mechanism.

STATE’S SHARE OF COSTS:- States bear all staff costs, and cost overruns of the

construction costs, whatever be the reason. The Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana does not

provide for any staff costs. MORD accepts its liability only up to the approved cost estimates.

External Funding Agencies:- Keeping in view the resource gap for the Programme,

Government of India have been taking steps to arrange additional funds for the Programme. The

World Bank and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) have agreed to fund the Programme

commenced from the year 2003-04. This is likely to be the first in a series of loans for the

PMGSY. In the first stage, the States of Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh are being taken up

under the ADB Project. Likewise, the World Bank has also began funding projects from 2003-04

in the States of Uttar Pradesh, Discussions are presently under way regarding the size and nature

of loans

Accounting System:-The Institute of Public Auditors of India (IPAI) submitted their Report on

the Accounting and Audit System for the PMGSY and based on the same, the arrangements for

Flow of Funds, Procedure for Release and Audit have been suitably amended and incorporated in

the Revised Guidelines of the PMGSY.

Technology, Warangal. The National Council for Building Materials (NCCBM) has been asked

to supervise the construction of 200 km. of cement concrete roads as pilot projects in selected

States. It has also taken up pilot projects involving use of Modified Bitumen (including Rubber

Modified Bitumen) for wearing courses in all the States under the PMGSY.

On-line Management & Monitoring System:-

The internet-based On-line Management & Monitoring System has been set up for the PMGSY.

The Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), Pune have prepared the 9

Application Software Modules and these have been released in November, 2002. The PMGSY

website has been launched in November, 2002 and the site can be accessed at www.pmgsy.org .

Details of road works including, inter alia, the name of road works, length of road, cost, name of

Executing Agency and name of contractor are being made available on the PMGSY web site.

Orientation Training for State IT Nodal Officers has been conducted and the Training of Master

Trainers has also been completed in December, 2002. State level Training for personnel from the

Programme Implementation Units (PIUs)/ Districts are being organised. Version 2.0 of the User

Manual has also been developed and published and copies have been made available to the

States. The requisite Hardware has been supplied to the Districts and the States.

Scrutiny of project proposals:- Ministry of Rural Development has identified in consultation

with each State Government, reputed Technical Institutions to scrutinize the project

proposals prepared by the State Governments, provide requisite technical support to the State

Governments, and undertake Quality Control tests upon specific request. These are being

referred to as the State Technical Agencies (STA). The coordination of activities of the STAs

would be per formed by the NRRDA, who may add to or delete from the list of institutions, as

well as to entrust specific tasks from time to time. The Ministry of Rural Development/

NRRDA may from time to time identify additional technically qualified agencies to provide

these services to the State Governments and to perform such other functions as may be necessary

in the interest of the Scheme.

The PIU will forward the proposals along with the Detailed Project Reports to the State

Technical Agencies for scrutiny of the design and estimates. The Preformed F-1 to F-8 will form

part of the DPR. These will be forwarded at the level of the Superintending Engineer or the

supervising officer of the PIU, before they are sent to the State Technical Agencies. A summary

of the road works will be prepared in Preformed- circulated by the Ministry / NRRDA.

Monitoring:-

Effective monitoring of the Programme being critical, the State Governments will ensure that

the officials are prompt in sending the requisite reports. to the State level Agency as well as

the NRRDA. The On-line Management & Monitoring System will be the chief mechanism

for monitoring the Programme. To this end, the officials are required to furnish, ‘on line’, all

the data and information, as may be prescribed by the NRRDA from time to time, in the

relevant module of the On-line Management & Monitoring System. They shall be

responsible for uninterrupted maintenance of the Computer Hardware and Software as well

as the Internet connectivity. The Software for the OMMS shall be supplied by the NRRDA

and it shall not be modified at any level in the States; any requirement or suggestion for

change shall be intimated to the NRRDA.  In case of continued failure to update data on the

OMMS, further releases to the State could be affected.

Audit

The SRRDA will ensure that the accounts are audited by a Chartered Accountant

selected from a panel approved by the CAG, within six months of the close of the

financial year. This account will be supported by a statement of reconciliation with

the accounts of PIUs and a certificate of the Chartered Accountant on its accuracy.

In addition to the Audit by the Chartered Accountant, the works under this

Programme would be subject to audit by the Office of the Comptroller and Auditor-

General of India (C&AG). The Audit of the work done by the C&AG may cover

aspects of quality, in addition to financial audit.

Both the State level Agency and the PIUs must provide all relevant information to

District level Vigilance and Monitoring Committees
