## ANSWER

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

- (a) Central funds under Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) are released to State Government as a whole. Further funds are released at district and sub-district level by the  State  Government.  The release of funds to the State  for implementation of PMGSY is done on the basis of the proposal received from the state and depends, inter-alia, on works in hand, execution capacity of the State and unspent funds available with the State.

State-wise details of Central fund released for construction of roads under PMGSY in the last three years and the current year are given at Annexure-I. As reported by the State, details of expenditure  incurred  (including  State  share)  in  the  Darjeeling,  Kalimpong  districts  and Chopra Block under North Dinajpur District are given at Annexure-II

(b)&(c) Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (Mahatma Gandhi NREGS) is a demand-driven wage employment scheme which provides for the enhancement of livelihood security of the households in rural areas of the country by providing at least one hundred  days  of  guaranteed  wage  employment  in  every  financial  year  to  every  household whose adult members volunteer to do unskilled manual work.

There is  no  State/District/Block  wise  allocation  of  funds  under  Mahatma  Gandhi  NREGS. Also, funds are not directly released to Districts/Blocks under Mahatma Gandhi NREGS.

Details of works undertaken in the districts of Darjeeling, Kalimpong, and Chopra block of Dinajpur Uttar in the State of West Bengal under Mahatma Gandhi NREGS in  the last three financial years and the current year are given at Annexure-III.
