Accrual from Diesel Cess Rs. 5,550 crore (2011-12) Accrual from Diesel Cess largely committed for loan repayment during 2011-12. Externally Aided Projects World Bank Project ($1.5 billion) was launched on 19th May 2011. Possibility of launching of one more ADB Project ($ 0.8 to $1.2 billion). Limited Scope for further leveraging Diesel Cess to raise additional NABARD loans Key Issue: Financing of PMGSY. DEA should put ADB RRS-III P in firm category for 2011.

At present under MGNREGA the following works can be covered: Roads to connect habitations ineligible under PMGSY Second or multi-connectivity to habitations habitation - internal roads- other than PMGSY Plantation along PMGSY roads.

Status of Core Network of Bihar

1. 2. 3. 4. Inconsistencies noticed in the tentative Core Network sent by the Govt. of Bihar. The State requested for permission for ground verification to finalize and freeze the Core Network Data. Sanction of Projects were made based on the tentative Core Network and certification of eligibility by the State/ Nominated Executing Agencies(NEAs). The habitation details of the Core Network have been analyzed in the presence of officers of RWD from all the districts and shortcomings found. Verification of habitations of the roads sanctioned to the NEAs (CPWD, IRCON, NBCC, NPCC and NHPC), involved on request of the State for implementation, is under process. Meeting at the level of SRD scheduled for 21st July 2011.

Quality Assurance Mechanism

A Three Tier Quality Assurance Mechanism institutionalized. First
Tier is in-house quality control, Second (SQMs) and Third Tiers (NQMs) are independent monitoring. Sustainable Quality achieved through effective interventions. Quality Control at PIU linked to payment to contractors and stage passing concept introduced. Independent monitoring at State level through structured inspections. Outsourcing permitted. Independent monitoring of quality at National level further refined through close monitoring of action taken and evaluation of performance of NQMs. The Cost of works having non-rectifiable defects to be treated as infructuous.

Special Dispensation Accorded to LWE Affected Areas/IAP Districts Included in the following four categories of proposals being considered for clearance under PMGSY (As per Advisory issued on 12th June 2009) Residual new connectivity coverage envisaged under Phase I of Bharat Nirman. Projects to be taken up with the assistance of WB/ADB New habitation connectivity in identified LWE affected (now enlarged to 60 LWE affected/IAP) districts Special road connectivity packages announced for the border areas

Special Dispensation Accorded to LWE Affected Areas/IAP Districts

Keeping in view of demands for concerned States, about a year back for upto 50 m length entire funds were being released from the Ministry (against 25 m length earlier). The limit has been increased to 75 meters. It is not that bridges longer than 75 m are not covered, but cost on pro-rata basis is to be borne by the States. Causeways of all lengths are funded by GOI. Qualification criteria relaxed for Contractors. The minimum tender package has been reduced to Rs. 50 lakh. A sum of Rs. 2,000 crore was released to LWE/IAP Districts.

Recommendations on various issues related to the North East States

S. N

Item

Recommendations Submitted

Coverage of remaining Bharat All remaining eligible proposals be sent Nirman Works by the States immediately. Coverage of missed out bridges All remaining eligible proposals be sent on roads already sanctioned by the States immediately. under PMGSY Sanctions of Stage-II works for All remaining eligible proposals be sent such PMGSY roads for which by the States immediately. Stage I has already been sanctioned.

Recommendations on various issues related to the North East States-contd.

Inclusion or otherwise of CC (i) The roadway width should be exclusive of drain width and Parapet Wall parapet and side drains. Width in the roadway width. (ii) Minimum roadway width should be 6 meters. (iii) The width may be suitably increased on the request of SRRDA as per DPRs at curves, junctions etc. and road stretches facing heavy snowfall or land slides. (iv) Reputed institute be awarded an R&D study to suggest technological solutions especially using local material to control landslides in hilly areas. Convergence with MGNREGA to check landslides be also evolved through this study.

Recommendations on various issues related to the North East States-contd.

Higher costs due to transportation of Cement, Bitumen, Steel etc. and longer leads.

To start with a pre-bid conference with Cement Manufacturers should be convened either at Delhi or Kolkata in which States may project their annual requirement of cement covering all schemes run by the Ministry of Rural Development.

Relaxation of the (i) The existing procedure of Hill States for connectivity to current norm of habitations of population 250 and above in 2001 and population of 250 relaxations of path distance of 1.5km to form a cluster of persons and above in 250+ as well as relaxation of 10 km path distance in respect of Hill States International Border blocks be continued. (ii) To provide connectivity to the habitations of less than 250 population in 2001 even after availing the aforesaid relaxations; existing convergence provision in MGNREGA may be availed of by the States.

Recommendations on various issues related to the North East States-contd.

Relaxation of norms of 100% funding by Number of bridges of span: GoI for bridges of span up to 50 m by (i) above 50 meters upto 60 meters and covering bridges of span up to 150 m (ii) above 60 meters be assessed by the under 100% GoI funding States with crude estimates of bridge wise cost on PMGSY roads not yet cleared by the Department.

GoI funding towards maintenance XIII Finance Commission funds be used to partially cover enormous to supplement State funds. maintenance costs due to difficult terrain

Recommendations on various issues related to the North East States-contd.

Financial assistance from GIS interface is essential for Core GoI for GIS applications and Network and the necessary digitization of Core Network arrangement be evolved in consultation with States. Department of Science & Technology, Government of India be also approached.

PMGSY Some Recent Actions Taken

Uploading of quality Grading of items/sub items and photographs of works inspected by SQMs:

PMGSY provides a three-tier quality monitoring mechanism Under the second-tier, periodic inspections are required to be conducted by

independent State Quality Monitors (SQMs). Each PMGSY project is

expected to be inspected by the SQMs at least three times during the process of execution

All the SQM inspection reports are to be mandatorily entered in OMMAS along with at least 10 digital photographs

Measures to ensure Maintenance Funding of PMGSY roads by States

Release of Programme Funds has been made contingent upon crediting of

required funds to respective SRRDA for maintenance

31

PMGSY Some Recent Actions Taken (contd.)

Necessity of Consultation with Honble Members of Parliament for new

proposals under PMGSY:

Incorporating the suggestions given by Honble Members of Parliament should be an integral part of the preparation of Project Proposals

Necessity of a Transect walk :

Involvement of the local community in a transect walk can ensure suitable alignment, sort out the issues of land availability etc.

In view of above, a circular has been issued stating that the Project Proposals

shall in future be accompanied with following documents:

Appropriate proof regarding the consultation with Honble Members of Parliament Minimum of ten photographs taken during Transect Walk

Minutes of meeting after the Transect Walk for each road

32

Major Institutional Interventions

PPP:
States being pursued to adopt PPP in rural roads on pilot basis. Models on deferred payment, i.e. Annuity basis being explored. National Consultation planned in February GIS: GIS for mapping of core network on pilot basis. CDAC to provide technical support States to implement. Independent Engineer:

Deployment of Independent Engineer to supplement third tier.
