## ANSWER

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

(a) to  (d)  The  Ministry  of  Panchayati  Raj  implements  the  Scheme  of  'Capacity  Building Panchayat Sashaktikaran Abhiyan (CB-PSA)' and funds under the scheme are provided to the States/ UTs on the basis of their Annual Plans as approved by the Central Executive Committee (CEC). The Status of utilization of the funds released and utilised to states is monitored by the Central  Executive  Committee,  which  gives  appropriate  direction  to  the  representatives  of  the States/UTs for ensuring proper utilization of the funds provided to the States. The funds are not directly earmarked to the Panchayats.

Under the scheme 'Incentivization of Panchayats', Ministry of Panchayati Raj incentivizes the best performing Panchayats/States/UTs every year on the occasion of National Panchayati Raj Day. As mandated in the guidelines, award money released under the scheme is to be utilized for public purposes and the release of award money to States/UTs for Panchayats is subject to submission of requisite UCs of previous years' award money.

A  statement  indicating  the  funds  released  and    funds  utilized  in    2016-17  and  fund released in  2017-18 in respect of CB-PSA is at Annexure-I and in respect of 'Incentivization of Panchayats'  is  at Annexure-II .    Performance  of  States/  UTs  are  reviewed  to  facilitate  full utilization.
