eMARG-Electronic Maintenance of Rural Roads under PMGSY

eMARG (electronic Maintenance of Rural Roads under PMGSY) is an enterprise e-Governance solution for maintenance of rural roads constructed under Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojna (PMGSY). Solution is developed for National Rural Infrastructure Development Agency (NRIDA), Ministry of Rural Development, Govt. of India. Its standardized transparent process oriented system to manage & monitor maintenance of rural roads under Post Construction Defect Liability Period of five years and Five year Performance Guarantee.

Maintenance of road assets is extremely critical from the point of view of citizen in particular and rural economy in general. Timely & routine maintenance of roads post construction is required to ensure this investment is safeguarded. Given the low-ticket & high-volume nature of maintenance activities, both district engineers & contractors are not incentivized to manage the payments in a routine manner and tend to lump up the maintenance activities till the end of the contract defeating the purpose of routine maintenance. Further, administrative burden to get small maintenance bills inspected & processed adds workload to already overburdened district engineers. eMARG (Electronic Maintenance of PMGSY Roads) is a simple yet an extremely effective solution to these problems.
