The Tamil Nadu Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Department, through G.O. (Ms.) No. 112 dated 14 August 2019, accepted the proposal of the Director of Rural Development and Panchayat Raj to construct 300 kilometres of cement concrete pavement in rural areas.

G.O. (Ms.) No. 112 estimates the total cost at Rs.94.98 crore.
Key financial details are:
- The estimated cost for one kilometre is Rs.31.66 lakh, although the actual estimate may vary with site conditions.
- The labour and material cost ratio is 11.44:88.56.
- The works are expected to generate 4,74,485 person days of employment.

Planning and execution requirements
The Tamil Nadu Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Department requires the detailed cement concrete pavement guidelines issued in G.O. (Ms.) No. 127 dated 12 September 2018 to be followed for 2019-20. Those guidelines cover planning, selection of works, execution of cement concrete pavements and non-negotiable items, without deviation.
The Rural Schedule of Rates approved for 2019-20 is to be used. The source also records the notified wage rate for Tamil Nadu as Rs.229 per day for that financial year.
The scheme permits all-weather rural connections to unconnected villages, links between identified rural production centres and existing paved road networks, and paved internal village roads or streets, including side drains and culverts.
Who may be affected
G.O. (Ms.) No. 112 is mainly relevant to rural residents, local bodies, district administrations and agencies selecting or carrying out the pavement works. It was circulated to all District Collectors except Chennai and to District Rural Development Agencies.
