## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT (SADHVI NIRANJAN JYOTI)

(a)  Under  the  Shyama  Prasad  Mukherji  Rurban  Mission  (SPMRM),  the  funds  are  not allocated State-wise.  However, the funds are released to the States on fulfillment of certain conditions  as  prescribed  in  the  Framework  of  Implementation  (FOI)  of  the  Mission.     The details of funds released and spent by the State of Bihar during the last three years is annexed as Annexure-I.

(b) Since the commencement of on-ground activities are continuous process, and progress is uploaded in MIS (RurbanSoft), the cumulative status of works as on 31 st March 2022 since inception are as follows:

- (i) Number of proposed works  - 2625;
- (ii) Number of completed works - 352; and
- (iii) Number of ongoing works - 364.

(c) & (d) Under the Mission, the data regarding reducing urban migration by ensuring basic amenities/services  under  SPMRM  are  not  being  maintained.    However,  the  sectoral evaluation  study  conducted  by  NITI  Aayog  in  2020-21 has  indicated  positive changes  in  the    Rurban    cluster.  The  study  conducted  by  NITI  Aayog  also states that ' SPMRM,  by  providing  urban-like  amenities  and  better  livelihood opportunities  in  its  clusters  aims  to  reduce  and  reverse  rural  to  urban  migration. Implementing officials have also confirmed that population in absolute numbers and in  density  have  been  increasing  in  the  clusters,  thereby  revealing  demographic changes  in India's rural areas.'

SPMRM focuses  on  holistic  development  of  clusters  and  to  ensure  an  optimum  level  of development,  twenty  one  components  have  been  suggested  as  desirable  for  the  Cluster development. Based on the need of the clusters, different activities are being taken for holistic development of clusters from the 21 components with a major focus on income generating activities, and assuring basic amenities in the Rurban cluster.
