## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR PANCHAYATI RAJ

## (SHRI KAPIL MORESHWAR PATIL)

(a)  to  (c):  The  Ministry  of  Panchayati  Raj  has  not  launched  any  scheme  for  infrastructure development  and  upgradation  in  the  backward  region  of  the  country.  However,  grants  under Fifteenth Finance Commissions are released to the rural local bodies to, inter alia, utilise for the felt  needs  under  the  29  subjects  enshrined  in  the  XI  schedule  of  the  Constitution  that  include infrastructure  such  as  roads,  culverts,  bridges,  ferries,  waterways  in  rural  areas  of  all  region. Panchayats can create and maintain infrastructure purely out of the Finance Commission Grants or through  convergence  of  other  scheme  such  as  Mahatma  Gandhi  National  Rural  Employment Guarantee Scheme. Further, as informed by the Ministry of Rural Development, under Centrally Sponsored Scheme of Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) all-weather road connectivity in rural areas catering to the access needs of the entire population of the target habitation is being created  for  which  financial  assistance  is  provided  to  the  States.  The  roads  constructed  under PMGSY cater to all the strata of the society. Nevertheless, backward regions of the country viz. Scheduled Tribal and backward districts have got specific focus in the scheme by giving special dispensation.  The  State/UT-wise  funds  released  and  utilised  under  the  PMGSY  scheme  is  at Annexure .
