## Statement referred in reply to Lok Sabha Starred Question  No.378*  on 'Status of SAGY' scheduled for answer on 29 March 2022

(a)  to  (d):  No,  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  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 58,228 projects (60%) out of the 96,996 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 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  where  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
