## ANSWER

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

(a)  to  (d):  There  is  continuous  and  progressive  development  of  the  identified  Gram Panchayats  (GPs)  under  Saansad  Adarsh  Gram  Yojana  (SAGY).  The  GPs  prepare  Village Development  Plan  (VDP)  in  which  the  proposed  activities  are  implemented  through convergence of various schemes of the Government of India and State schemes. As per latest data on scheme portal (https://saanjhi.gov.in), Saansad Adarsh Gram Yojana (SAGY) Gram Panchayats have been successful in completing the implementation of projects 91,383 (60%) out of the 1,50,222 projects planned under Village Development Plans (VDP).

As per the data available on the scheme portal, the major schemes that have contributed to the VDP activities are given in Annexure-I. The State, district, village and  year-wise progress, including Andhra Pradesh and Telangana progress of VDP can be seen at www.saanjhi.gov.in. Information on expenditure incurred to carry out the activities proposed under VDP under different State and Central schemes are not maintained centrally in the MIS of the portal since no funds are released for this programme from the Centre. The resource envelope  available  for  GPs  includes  schemes  of  Government  of  India,  State/UT  schemes, partnership  with  private,  voluntary  and  cooperative  (PVC)  sectors,  Gram  Panchayats'  own revenue, resources mobilized in kind and labour and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds.

(e)  :  Yes,  States/UTs  send  their  suggestions  to  the  Union  Government time to time. These suggestions  are  discussed  in  the  National  Level  Committee  on  SAGY  headed  by  the Secretary, Rural Development, with representatives of line Ministries/Departments periodically to initiate  remedial  action  wherever  necessary,  including  changes  in  the guidelines of respective schemes/ programmes. Accordingly, 17 Ministries/Departments have amended and/ or have issued advisories to States/ UTs to accord priority to SAGY GPs. The details of these ministries/departments along with the list of schemes is given in Annexure II
