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 25th October 1999, when a programmed of
Construction of All-weather roads in the rural areas was announced. then, in his address on 15th
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 10th 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
