Investment  under  SPMRM  include dedicated support of Critical Gap Fund (CGF) upto a limit of 30% to incentivise balance 70% or  more  investment  through  convergence  under  different  schemes  of  central  and  state government, CSR, funds from local bodies, etc. Accordingly, for 300 clusters, an approved amount of Rs. 5142.08 crore is the Central contribution of CGF out of which Rs. 2311.37 crore has been released against the total projected CGF investment of Rs. 6813.29 crore and Convergence investment of Rs. 20,979.23 crore for the project period.

(c)  Under SPMRM, clusters are selected by States on a pre-fixed matrix as detailed in the Framework of Implementation. After the selection of clusters, Integrated Cluster Action Plan is prepared in consultation with Gram Sabha and District Level Bodies which is approved by the SLEC and finally approved by the Central Empowered Committee headed at the Ministry of  Rural  Development.  After  the  approval  of  ICAP,  Detailed  Project  Report  (DPRs)  are prepared for each work to be undertaken in the cluster which is approved by the SLEC. The States/UTs are empowered to take decisions on projects/works to be undertaken, the projects to be modified and new projects to be undertaken, subject to approval of SLEC. Incorporation of  new  projects/works  follows  the  procedure  as  indicated  in  the  advisory  issued  by  the Ministry to the States /UTs in January 2020. ( Annexure-3 )
