1. Introduction
Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) was launched by the Govt. of India to provide
connectivity to unconnected rural Habitations as part of a poverty reduction strategy. Government
of India is endeavoring to set high and uniform technical and management standards and facilitating
policy development and planning at State level in order to ensure sustainable management of the
rural roads network. In the first phase, habitations (hamlets) of population of 1000 (500 in the case
of Hill States, tribal and Desert areas) and above are covered. In the second phase habitations of
population upto500 ( 250 in the case of Hill States, tribal and desert areas ) are targeted. The spirit
and the objective of PMGSY is to provide good all-weather road connectivity to unconnected
habitations. National Rural Infrastructure Development Agency (NRIDA), MoRD, GoI is the nodal
agency for its implementation country-wide. At the end of program, after providing rural
connectivity to all eligible habitation the total road length of black top road under PMGSY would be
more than 7 Lakhs km.
Maintenance of all completed road is essential to preserve the huge asset created. The USP of
PMGSY roads is that after construction there is a five year performance guarantee, which lies with
the contractor known as Pre-5 maintenance period. During this period the contractor has to
maintain the road and gets six monthly payments at predefined rates. After completion of 5 years
maintenance period roads are tendered and packaged for 5 more years known as Post-5
maintenance period. Before eMARG, there was only a manual system of monitoring which was ad
hoc and need based. The quality of maintenance works being done by the contractors and
submission/payment of bills thereof has been sometimes under dispute and needed more
transparency. With increase in road length network, it’s a challenge for SRRDA to monitor the status
of maintenance of roads. Various issues are faced by the department from Contractors, citizens on
multiple aspects. The stakeholders had no feedback mechanism on the on-site condition of the
roads as well as the payment status. The information gap between the Project Implementation Unit
(PIU), Contractors and the SRRDA/ Nodal Agency needed to be bridged. The manual system give rise
to unnecessary litigations, between Contractors and PIUs. Thus, the system required improvement in
the delivery of services and removal of unnecessary litigations.
eMARG is G2B, G2G, G2C pioneering enterprise e-Governance solution conceived, designed &
developed by NIC Madhya Pradesh. It aids and assists the Ministry/SRRDA officials, Civil Contractors,
Banks and general public for planning & monitoring of Five-year Performance Guarantee (Pre-5) and
Post Construction Defect Liability (Post-5) maintenance of rural roads. It’s a fusion of new &
emerging technologies Cryptography (Digital Signature & SSL), Open Web technology (OWT),
Geo-spatial, Remote Sensing, Mobile, Messaging and Mail services. Its standardized uniform
transparent process oriented system. Public Financial Management System (PFMS) is integrated for
DBT to Contractor Bank account. eMARG is both Decision and Transaction Support System.
