Problems in PMGSY Projects

 Acquisition of Land
 Lack of coordination between central and state agencies
 Contracting capacity
 Use of appropriate technology
 Social and economic concerns
 Use of new technologies and materials
Solutions
 Land acquisitions bill for easy and fast acquisition of suitable land.
 Separate teams has been appointed at both levels centre as well as
state level for the better coordination.
 Committees has been set up at different levels to decide the
parameters for the contracting companies as per the levels of the
project.
 More focus is being paid to use manual labor instead of machines
especially after the introduction of MGNREGA.
 The technology is being very judiciously so as to make the projects
sustainable and environment friendly.
 Roads are not only connecting the far off places but also bridging
the faults of social and economic inequality.
A few practical problems &
Suggestions
 The procurement of the resources and the bidding for the contracts are
needed to be more transparent.
 The provisions the maximum labour intensive projects are needed to be
monitored regularly.
 The LWE ( left wing extremism) affected areas are needed to be
connected with the main stream in order address the socioeconomic
problems.
 The most prevalent problems of every government project is releasing
of funds is badly affected by the Corrupt bureaucratic culture. This can
be addressed through strict Social Audits and more involvement of the
Gram Panchayats.
 Maintenance of the rural roads is hardest job. Since PMGSY is a
centrally sponsored scheme state governments are very reluctant to
pay for the maintenance. Hence time to time maintenance is very
necessary for better assets management.
