## ANSWER

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

(a) to  (c):  The  only  scheme  through  which  Ministry  directly  invests  is  Shyama  Prasad MukherjiRurban Mission (SPMRM). It focuses on holistic development of clusters and to ensure an optimum level of development of rural areas. Twenty one components have been suggested as desirable  for  the  cluster  development.  Based  on  the  needs  of  a  cluster,  different  activities  are undertaken  for  holistic  development,  out  of  which  Health  is  one  of  the  components,  several States/UTs  have  taken  up  different  projects  under  the  scheme  to  provide  better  health  care services in the rural areas aggregating Rs. 564 Cr. Under the scheme, two clusters viz. Nauranga and Tankuppa have been approved in Gaya district of the State of Bihar, which have components aimed at augmenting the healthcare infrastructure at a total cost of Rs. 10 Cr.

Though on the whole, Ministry of Rural Development does not implement any scheme directly related to rural healthcare, however, several schemes of this Ministry are designed in such a way that they support enhancement of quality of living, nutrition and access to healthcare. Towards this  goal  of  improving  overall  quality  of  rural  living,  this  Ministry  implements  the  scheme  of Pradhan  MantriAwaasYojana-  Gramin  (PMAY-G)  with  a  target  of  'Housing  for  All'.  With effect from 1st April 2016 the Ministry provides assistance to eligible rural households with an overall target to construct 2.95 crore pucca houses with basic amenities by March, 2024.  PMAY-G  provides  financial  assistance  for  construction  of  houses  to  eligible  rural houseless households and households living kutchcha and dilapidated houses.

In addition,  the  Department  of  Rural  Development  is  also  implementing a  number  of developmental and welfare schemes for rural areas of the country,   namely,  Mahatma Gandhi

National  Rural  Employment  Guarantee  Scheme  (Mahatma  Gandhi  NREGS),  Pradhan  Mantri Gram  SadakYojana  (PMGSY),  DeendayalAntyodayaYojana  -  National  Rural  Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NRLM), DeenDayalUpadhayay - GraminKaushalyaYojana (DDU-GKY), Rural Self  Employment  Training  Institutes  (RSETIs)  and  National  Social  Assistance  Programme (NSAP) to alleviate poverty in rural areas and to bring about overall improvement in the quality of life of the people in rural areas.

Another  scheme  of  this  Ministry,  namely,SaansadAdarsh  Gram  Yojana  (SAGY)  aims  at  the holistic  and  integrated  development  of  Gram  Panchayats  and  covers  various  aspects  of development such as economic, human,  personal, social, environmental, health etc. by facilitating convergence of various schemes of the Government and through such accelerated and wholesome development facilitates improved health outcomes.

The amount spent by the Ministry on the development schemes in rural areas during each of the last five years, State-wise, is given at Annexure.
