## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF PANCHAYATI RAJ (SHRI PARSHOTTAM RUPALA)

(a) to (d): An  independent  review-cum-evaluation  of  the  Backward  Regions  Grant  Fund (BRGF)  Programme  was  undertaken  by  the  World  Bank  in  eight  States  in  July  2009.  The Mission in its report noted that the BRGF has stimulated a process of Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs)  strengthening,  particularly  in  poor  States  and  Districts  and  laid  the  foundation  for achieving several of its objectives.

The  erstwhile  Planning  Commission  had  undertaken  an  evaluation  study  on  BRGF covering  the  period  2006-07  to  2010-11,  which  was  carried  out  by  M/s  Institute  of  Human Development, New Delhi in 16 States. The main findings of the study relating to works were that overall amount of grants is too small to meet the infrastructural deficits of the backward regions and efforts should be made to encourage the execution of big projects with long-term and greater socio-economic impacts instead of diffusing the BRGF resources on all kinds of works.

Ministry of Panchayati Raj  has sanctioned an evaluation study on BRGF Programme to inter-alia review the institutional structure, assess the quality and usage of various assets created, the capacity of PRIs to maintain created assets etc.

The  BRGF  Programme  has  been  delinked  from  the  budgetary  support  of  the  Central Government  with  effect  from  the  financial  year  2015-16.  This  has  been  done  in  view  of  the enhanced fiscal space made available to the States by the Fourteenth Finance Commission award on account of higher devolution of funds to the States from 32% to 42% of the Centre's net tax receipts.
