## ANSWER

- (a) As  per  approved  guidelines  of  National  Mission  on  Libraries  (NML)  Model  Library  Scheme, financial  assistance  is  provided  to  one  State  Central  Library  and  one  District  Library  in  each State / UT for infrastructural development, modernization etc., as recommended by the State / UT Library Authorities.

State wise number of proposals approved under the NML Model Library Scheme and status are provided at Annexure - A.

- (b) Sanction  of  proposal  under  the  NML  Model  Library  Scheme  depends  on  submission  of proposal(s) from the respective State/UT Library Authorities and release of payment depends on submission  of  certified  claims,  other  requisite  documents  and  state  contribution  from  the respective State/UT Library Authorities.

Implementation and execution of the approved projects are directly controlled by the respective Library Authorities.

Thus,  National  Mission  on  Libraries  (NML)  is  dependent  on  State/UT  Library  Authority  for sanctioning of proposal and release of payment under the NML Model Library Scheme.

- (c) Implementation  and  execution  of  the  approved  projects  are  directly  controlled  by  the  Library Authority of Rajasthan. Release of payment depends on submission of certified claims and other requisite documents from the Library Authority of Rajasthan.

State Central Library Authority, Jaipur and Kota District Library have been disbursed financial assistance based on fund utilization and further claims received. Fund sanctioned and released status is provided at Annexure-A.

- (d) Please refer Sl. No. 19 & 20 at Annexure-A.
