A Statement showing B.E. and R.E. of the Ministry of Rural Development w.e.f. 2013-14 to 2016-17 is at annexure-I

- (c)  &  (d):  Yes,  Sir.  To  maximize  the  outcome  of  Government  expenditure  on  rural development  the  Ministry  has  revamped  governance  framework.  The  new  governance framework  uses  information  technology/  Direct  Benefit  Transfer  and  space  technology  for date  and  time  stamping  and  for  longitude/  latitude  tagging  of  the  community/  individual assets  in  the  rural  areas.  It  links  Aadhaar,  Jan-dhan  bank  account  and  Mobile  in  such  a manner that the benefits reach directly to the beneficiaries in their account.
