Quality Assurance Handbook for Rural Roads
- Share to:
A major rural road programme known as Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) is being
implemented since December 2000 by the Government of India through the Ministry of Rural
Development (MORD). The National Rural Roads Development Agency (NRRDA), working under
the aegis of the MORD, provides the overall administrative, technical and programme support to
the states in the execution of works. The scheme envisages construction of good quality all-weather
roads to provide connectivity to habitations with a population of 500 and above (250 and above in
case of hills, deserts and tribal areas). Emphasis is being laid on planning, design, construction
and maintenance of rural roads based on sound engineering principles, which conform to
specifications, codes of practice and manuals of the Indian Roads Congress. A comprehensive
document, IRC:SP:20 entitled Rural Roads Manual has been brought out in 2002 for adoption in
case of all rural roads including works being carried out under the PMGSY programme.
Subsequently, the NRRDA brought out its own Handbook on Quality Control for Rural Works
and Operations Manual for PMGSY works. A detailed Book of Specifications for Rural Roads and
Standard Data Book for Analysis of Rates have also been prepared and published through the
Indian Roads Congress. A strong technical underpinning has been given so that roads taken up
under this programme conform to the MORD Specifications.
