## ANSWER

MINISTER OF STATE FOR  ELECTRONICS AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (SHRI SANJAY DHOTRE)

(a) and (b): The budget sanctioned for the Pradhan Mantri Gramin Digital Saksharta Abhiyan (PMGDISHA) Scheme during the FY 2017-18 and FY 2018-19  was Rs. 100  Crore and  Rs. 438 Crore respectively, out of the total budget outlay of Rs. 2351.38 Crore for the Scheme.

As the above Scheme is funded as a Central Sector Scheme, hence, funds are not allocated to States and UTs. The State/UT-wise details of overall fund requirements based on their earmarked targets are given in the Annexure. The State/UT-wise number of candidates trained so far  in last three years is also given at Annexure.
