Starred Question No. 191 for answer on 15.03.2017.

(a):   Yes, Madam.

The  Ministry  undertook  third  party  physical  monitoring  of  the MPLADS works in selected districts through independent agencies viz  NABARD Consultancy Services Private Limited (NABCONS) and Agricultural Finance Corporation (AFC) Limited. Programme Evaluation  Organization  (PEO)  of  erstwhile  Planning  Commission had also conducted an evaluation of the Scheme.

NABCONS  had  reported  that  the  MPLAD  Scheme  is  a  unique scheme having the characteristic feature of de-centralized development founded on the wide scale application of the principle participatory development and has resulted in the creation of fairly good  quality  assets  towards  economic  and  social  infrastructure, which  has  had  an  overall  positive  impact  on  the  local  economy, social fabric and feasible environment.

AFC in its report concluded that about 82% works were in the Rural Areas  and  18%  works  were  in  the  Urban/Semi  Urban  areas.  The share of rural and urban area in aggregate cost was 78% and 22% respectively.  It  was  also  reported  that  the  scheme  has  created various durable community assets which have impacted the social, cultural and economic life of the local community in one way or the other.

PEO  in  its  report inter  alia  mentioned  that  'The  impact  of  the scheme  as  felt  by  the  knowledgeable  persons  and  local  people indicate that about 65% of the created assets have been rated as good  and  overwhelming  majority  of  them  have  opined  that  the created assets are as per the felt needs and has improved their quality of life.'

(b) to (d): The  entitlement  of  honourable  Members  of  Parliament (MPs)  is  Rs  5  crore  per  annum,  which  is  released  in  two  equal instalments of Rs 2.5 crore each by Government of India directly to the District Authority of the Nodal District of the MP concerned.

The  works  are  recommended  by  the  honourable  MPs  and  are sanctioned as well as executed through District Authorities concerned. The specific data is maintained at the District level and only  broad  parameters  are  maintained  by  this  Ministry.  Based  on information received from the District Authorities, the data for the financial  years  2013-14,  2014-15,  2015-16  and  2016-17  is  given  in Annexure.
