MFF - Rural Roads Sector II Investment Program (Subproject 1)

Following the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (Prime Minister's Rural Roads Program) guidelines, each civil works contract had a stipulated completion period of 12 months. However, it was found during the implementation that 12 months was inadequate and that 15-18 months were needed. The proper timing of the signing of civil works contracts in relation to the monsoon period will avoid the loss of construction time due to the monsoon. This should be incorporated and considered in following subprojects under the multitranche financing facility.
