SILENT FEATURES OF PMGSY.
Salient features of the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana:
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.
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. 1 to 5 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 send maintained by the Panchayati Raj Institutions.
