## ANSWER

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

(a) to  (e)  The  Ministry  of  Panchayati  Raj  is  promoting  e-Governance  in  Panchayats  through implementation of a Mission Mode Project that addresses all aspects of Panchayats functioning. Under e-Panchayat Mission Mode Project of the Ministry of Panchayati  Raj, a suite of core software applications has been developed to address various aspects of Panchayats' functioning including  planning,  budgeting,  implementation,  accounting,  monitoring,  social  audit  and delivery  of  citizen  services  like  issue  of  certificates,  licences,  tax  collection  etc.  These applications are collectively called Panchayat Enterprise Suite (PES). Further, some States have developed  their  own  State-specific  software  applications  for  similar  purposes.  Under  the National  Capacity  Building  Framework  (NCBF),  2014  developed  by  this  Ministry,  due emphasis has been given to the use of information technology for expanding the outreach and enhancing the quality of the various capacity building initiatives for Panchayati Raj Institutions.

The Ministry has been proactively promoting e-Governance and e-enablement of the Panchayats. In this reference, under the Capacity Building- Panchayat Sashaktikaran Abhiyaan (CB-PSA)  scheme,  erstwhile  scheme  of  Rajiv  Gandhi  Panchayat  Sashaktikaran  Abhiyan (RGPSA)  funds  are  being  provided  to  States  for  e-  enablement  including  procurement  of necessary ICT infrastructure by the Panchayats. For providing assistance under CB-PSA annual action  plans  are  submitted  by  the  states.    Accordingly  after  due  examination  assistance  is provided to States. The details of assistance provided to States on their proposal are given in Annexure  I.  Further,  under  Fourteenth  Finance  Commission  (FFC)  Award  Gram  Panchayats (GPs) are provided grants through States for providing basic services. Out of these grants upto 10%  is  allowed  to  be  utilized  by  the  GPs  for  incurring  expending  for  meeting  the  cost  of technical  and  administrative  support  towards  Operation  &  Maintenance  (O&M).  The  various activities permitted under O&M include purchase of computers and accessories as well as cost of  Annual  Maintenance  Services  in  GPs,  which do  not  have  any  computer  at  present.  Under FFC, GPs are also given Performance Grants through States. The Performance Grants can also be used for purchase of computers. The details of funds sanctioned to the States during basic and performance grants under FFC are given in Annexure-II.

Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY)  also commenced a project namely 'Common Services Centre (CSC) 2.0'  in  August,  2015  under  Digital  India  Programme  for  a period of four years, which aimed to set up at least one CSC at Gram Panchayat (GP) level to cover all the 2.5 lakh GPs across the country. The key objective of CSCs is to deliver various citizen  centric  services,  such  as,  Government  to  Citizen  (G2C),  Business  to  Citizen  (B2C) services,  financial  inclusion  services,  educational  services,  skill  development  services  etc.  Till December, 2017, there are 2,71,311 Common Services Centres (CSCs) functioning across the country; among which, 1,73,853 CSCs are at Gram Panchayat (GP) level. The project is to be completed  within  4  years  -  by  August,  2019.  Details  of  the  Services  being  delivered  through CSC -  Digital  Seva  Centres  are  shown  in  Annexure-III.  The  number  of  CSCs  in  the  country (State/UT-wise) is shown in Annexure-IV.

Furthermore, Department of Telecommunications has undertaken BharatNet project for providing broadband connectivity to all the Gram Panchayats (GPs) approximately 2,50,000 in the country and to provide non-discriminatory access of this network to the Service Providers for provisioning  of  broadband  services  in  rural  areas.  As  part  of  this  project,  the  last  mile connectivity, through Wi-Fi or any other suitable broadband technology is to be provided at all the GPs in the country. The project is targeted to be completed by March 2019.

In  this  endeavour,  Department  of  Telecommunications    has  been  implementing  BharatNet project (Phase-I) to provide broadband connectivity to 1,00,000 Gram Panchayats (GPs) in the country.  As  on  21.01.2018,  optical  fibre  connectivity  has  been  provided  to  1,10,848   GPs by laying 2,58,635   km Optical Fibre Cable and 1,01,936 GPs have been made service ready under the  BharatNet  project  (Phase-I).    Under  Phase-II  of  the  Project  remaining  approximately 1,50,000  GPs  in  the  country  has  been  targeted  to  be  done  through  States,  Private  Sector  and Central Public Sector Undertakings to provide broadband facility by March, 2019.
