MINISTER OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT

(a) Under Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY), details of target set and roads constructed in kilometers during the last three years, State-wise including Madhya Pradesh are given at Annexure-I.
(b) The names of agencies which have been awarded construction work of above roads under PMGSY can be seen on PMGSY website URL http://omms.nic.in >Proposals>State-wise List of Roads.
PMGSY envisages a three tier Quality Assurance Mechanism to ensure quality of road works during construction. First-tier of this mechanism is in-house quality control at Programme Implementation Unit (PIU) level. Second-tier is structured as an independent quality monitoring at State level through State Quality Monitors (SQMs) in which provision of regular inspection of PMGSY works has been envisaged. The third-tier is an independent monitoring mechanism at the Central level. Under this tier, independent National Quality Monitors (NQMs) are engaged for inspections of PMGSY roads, selected at random. Action Taken Reports of the road works graded as Satisfactory Requiring Improvement (SRI) and Unsatisfactory (U) by the State Quality Monitors are monitored by the respective State Governments. Similarly, for works graded as Satisfactory Requiring Improvement (SRI) and Unsatisfactory (U) on the basis of observations of National Quality Monitors, Action Taken Reports are monitored and processed by National Rural Infrastructure Development Agency (NRIDA).
Further, ensuring the quality of the road works is the responsibility of the State Governments, who are implementing the Programme. The State Quality Coordinators (SQCs) of the respective States have been designated as Nodal Officers for ensuring the quality and maintenance of roads under the PMGSY.
