## ANSWER

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

- (a) No. The Ministry of Panchayati Raj (MoPR) is implementing e-Panchayat Mission Mode Project (MMP) wherein a suite of Core Common Applications, collectively known as Panchayat Enterprise Suite (PES) has been developed to address various aspects of Panchayats' functioning including planning, budgeting, implementation,  accounting, monitoring, delivery of citizen services like issue of certificates, licences etc.
- (b) Does not arise.
- (c) The level of adoption of various PES Applications at panchayat level varies across States / UTs due to differentials in the preparedness of panchayats for e-enablement. The State/UT wise adoption  status  of  PES  applications  is  given  at  Annexure.  Besides,  some  States  have  also developed their own State-specific applications for similar purposes.

Annexure referred in reply to part (c) of the Lok Sabha Unstarred Question No. 4481 for 22.03.2018 regarding Status of Panchayat Enterprise Suite Project
