Summary

Rural roads are the tertiary road system in total road network which prov
accessibility for the rural habitations to market and other facility centers. In India, du
the last five decades, rural roads are being planned and programmed in the contex
overall rural development, and tried to provide all- weather connectivity with some l
of achievement. The long term road development plans for the country provided po
guidelines and priorities for rural roads, while the funds for rural roads were allocate
the Five Year Plans.

Recently, during the last five years Government of India has undertake
dedicated program known as ‘Pradhan Mantra Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY)’ to pro
rural connectivity to all habitations under the Ministry of Rural Development. M
recently, Bharat Nirman, a time bound business plan adapted to provided r
infrastructure during 2005-09, rural roads have been taken as one of the components Adv
blended with PMGSY program. . It targeted to provide connectivity to all habitat

roads which are identified as the through routes of the core network. The total investm

The financial requirement during the 11 Five Year Plan is estimated based on
physical targets proposed and an amount of Rs. 79,000 crore is required to fulfill
targets estimated for new connectivity and upgradation. For new connectivity alone,
amount required is estimated as Rs. 50,000 crore for construction of 1.65 lakh km le
benefiting approximately 78000 habitations. The total estimated amount required fo
upgradation of the existing rural roads of about 1.16 lakh km requires about Rs.29

needs Rs.1,40,000 million every year during the plan period.

Need of the study:

In the year 2000, around 40 per cent of the 825,000 villages in India lacked
weather access roads. This constrained economic activities and access to esse

services. Nearly 74 per cent of India’s rural population, constituting the majorit
India’s poor, were not fully integrated into the national economy. The rural roads se
which is a State subject, also lacked adequate planning and management due to
coordination between multiple funding streams and agencies. Investing in rural roads
given low priority and viewed in isolation from the need for State and Nati
Highways.

Recommendations:

Rural Roads and Socio-economic Development:

 Rural roads have been proved to be catalytic for economic development


poverty alleviation in rural areas; this objective should be pursued further
more vigor.
 In future, the target should be to connect all habitations with all-weather r
roads instead of fair weather roads which was done earlier.

Physical Targets:

 11th Five Year Plan should continue to support the rural connectivity
upgradation targets as a major policy in view of huge untapped potential in r
India.
 Special provisions for funding through budgetary and other sources shal
required to continue with the objective of road connectivity for habitations.
 Maintenance may be taken to the top of the priority list to sustain the as
created and to reap the benefits perennially.

Planning and Design:

 The DRRP and Core Network preparation in a master plan framework to

 The network planning may be revisited and optimal network may be attempte
11 th Plan, including multiple connectivity, to avail circuitry of the network
integrated development objectives.
 Pilot projects should be initiated to study and incorporate the functi
accessibility based planning approach in special regions like Arunachal Prad
Jammu and Kashmir, etc, to select optimal routes for the settlements spread ov
vast geographical area.
 Intra-village/habitation roads also should be considered with higher priority i
Five Year Plan, starting with villages having more than 1000 population.
 GIS based database management should be created for all the States in a ph
manner based on the feedback from the Pilot Project in Rajasthan and Hima
Pradesh.
 The planning data at the block/district level should be updated every 3-5 y
and maintained as geo-referenced data.

designs and use of locally available and marginal materials.

 Low cost marginal and industrial waste materials may be promoted for rural
construction; necessary design and specifications be developed.
 The standard construction technology should be used for ensuring qualit
construction; however, wherever possible laborer based construction methods
may be adopted to create employment to the local people. But, it mus
emphasized that employment generation is not the focus of rural road program
 Many lower cost technologies like soil stabilization is not used often due to
of appropriate mechanical devices; such shortcomings must be removed
appropriate developments for machineries.

Maintenance Management:

 No asset lasts long without due maintenance and rural roads are no exemp
Routine and periodic maintenance should be planned and executed with
budgeting for the funds during 11 Plan.
 Projectisation of maintenance option can be examined with appropriate
sharing basis by the State and Central Governments for PMGSY/Bharat Nir
roads.
 Uniform level of service criteria for maintenance of rural roads be developed
adopted across the country (in all States). Suitable computerized maintena
management system (MMS) utilizing simple measurements (inventory and

data) be developed and adopted for rural roads based on the principles of a
management.
 Since the roads are to be owned by the Panchayat Raj Institutions (PRIs
community based maintenance programme may be adopted with hierarch
arrangement with District Programme Implementation Units (PIUs) for hi
level maintenance while routine maintenance being the responsibility of PRIs.

Looking Beyond PMGSY:

 All programmes supporting construction of rural roads for all-wea


connectivity must fall under one umbrella organization like State Rural R
Development Agency (SRRDA) in the State, irrespective of funding so
including the external source or borrowing or even Public Private Partners
This will ensure uniform standard and quality.
 The existing cluster approach, should be reviewed on the basis of ground l
survey of the settlement patterns in States like Arunachal Pradesh
consequential amendments should be made in the programme guidelines, so
larger number of habitations become eligible for coverage in hill States.
 The States may use the resources from Wage Employment Programme and o
available sources from the State for providing connectivity to the lower o

 While PMGSY contemplates connectivity to habitations with 500 and ab
normally and 250 and above in special areas, in future (11 Five Year Plan
beyond), connectivity should be aimed at all habitations irrespective of popula
sizes (including lower order settlements).
 PMGSY has been able to change the scenario of the country in terms of capa
of the contracting industry, trained manpower and also the availability of mo
equipments. The 11th Plan must utilize this capacity and enhance it for fulfil
the higher targets set for the 11 and subsequent Plans.

Quality Assurance:

 Durable assets can be created by ensuring the quality; this has been the p
objective of PMGSY. Very high standard of quality has been set up for r
roads by this programme, which must be maintained.
