## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF PANCHAYATI RAJ

## ANSWER (SHRI PARSHOTTAM RUPALA)

- (a) Ministry  of  Panchayati  Raj  (MoPR)  is  implementing  e-Panchayat  Mission  Mode Project (MMP) wherein a suite of Core Common Software Applications, collectively known as Panchayat Enterprise Suite (PES) 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, etc. However, due to differentials in the level of preparedness of Panchayats  across  the  country,  States  are  at  different  stages  of  implementing  these applications.  Besides,  some  States  have  their  own  State-specific  applications  for similar purpose.
- (b) For  effective  implementation  of  the  Project,  workshops/trainings  are  organised  to demonstrate  the  applications  to  the  State  Government  functionaries.  MoPR  is  also providing trained faculty to train toe functionaries  on all applications. Review with the States is also held through meetings, video conference sessions and visits of senior officers to States. Furthermore, States/Union Territories are also encouraged to adopt
- the software applications through the annual e-Puraskars. The adoption status of PES applications by States may be seen at Annex .
- (c) No timeline has been fixed by MoPR for the implementation of project across all the panchayats  in  the  country.  However,  States  may  set  their  own  timelines  for  the implementation of the project.
