## ANSWER MINISTER OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT (SHRI NARENDRA SINGH TOMAR)

(a): The Gram Panchayats adopted under SAGY prepare Village Development Plans (VDP) for  themselves  through  a  participatory  process  under  the  guidance of  Hon'ble  Members of Parliament.  The  VDP  includes  prioritised  time-bound  activities  to  achieve  holistic  and integrated progress of the village. The State/UT-wise status of progress of implementation of VDP in SAGY Gram Panchayats, based on the information uploaded on the SAGY website by the respective States/UTs till 6 February 2020, is given in Annexure-I.

(b)  &  (c):  Inter-village  connectivity,  by  way  of  a  single  all-weather  road  to  the  eligible unconnected habitations and upgradation of roads in the SAGY Gram Panchayats / villages has been provided through Pradhan Mantri Gram SadakYojana (PMGSY). Further, providing connectivity to identified rural production centres to existing pucca road network as well as construction  of  pucca  internal  roads  or  streets  including  side  drains  and  culvert  within  a village  are  permissible  activities  under  Mahatma  Gandhi  National  Rural  Employment Guarantee Scheme. These works are taken up at the Gram Panchayat level as per demand.

Under the National Health Mission (NHM),  support is provided to States/UTs for strengthening their healthcare system  on  the basis of proposals  received.  All  Gram Panchayats identified under SansadAdarsh Gram Yojana (SAGY) have been declared Open Defecation Free (ODF).

(d) & (e): Under the SAGY framework, the development of Gram Panchayats is envisaged through convergence and implementation of existing Government Schemes and Programmes under  the  administrative  control  of  respective  Ministries.  There  is  no  plan  or  proposal  to sanction special funds for SAGY villages as of now.
