RWD Jharkhand Schedule of Rates
About Rural Works Department, Govt of Jharkhand
RWD Jharkhand is the implementing agency for rural roads and rural civic infrastructure across the state's 24 districts. PMGSY-Jharkhand state share is implemented through RWD using RCD SOR (already covered) as the parent rate basis with rural-roads-specific lead/lift adjustments per NRIDA Circular 2016 (PMGSY adoption methodology, already covered as pmgsy publisher). RWD scope: rural connectivity roads (PMGSY-I, II, III phases), village-level civic infrastructure, panchayat building works, and rural water-supply civil scope (in coordination with Jharjal). No standalone RWD SOR PDF is publicly hosted — engineers preparing RWD bids work from RCD SOR + PMGSY adoption circular + project-specific tender BoQ.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is RWD different from RCD?
RCD (Road Construction Department) handles state highways, district roads, and major roads. RWD (Rural Works Department) handles rural connectivity roads (typically less than 100 vehicles per day traffic) plus rural civic infrastructure. Different traffic categories require different design and rate structures.
Does RWD use PMGSY framework?
Yes for PMGSY-state share. RWD applies NRIDA Circular 2016 (already covered as pmgsy publisher) layered on RCD SOR. Rural-roads-specific lead/lift adjustments and labour-intensive specifications apply.
What about JJM rural water-supply civil scope?
Jharjal (DWSD) handles JJM directly. RWD coordinates on village-approach civic infrastructure where rural roads connect to JJM water-supply schemes. Cross-departmental coordination at district level.
Where can I find RWD tenders?
jharkhand.gov.in/rwd publishes tenders. Each tender carries its full project BoQ during the bid window.
How does RWD differ from JNREGA-funded works?
JNREGA (job guarantee scheme) civil works (small-scale employment-oriented infrastructure) follow JNREGA-specific rate analysis with labour-intensive specifications. RWD funds proper engineered rural connectivity. Different purposes, different rate frameworks though both apply in rural Jharkhand.
