## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF WOMEN AND CHILD DEVELOPMENT (SHRIMATI SMRITI ZUBIN IRANI)

(a) to (c): Beti Bachao Beti Padhao (BBBP) scheme was launched on 22nd January, 2015  initially  in  100  districts  including  1  district  of  Chhattisgarh  namely  Raigarh. Another district namely Bijapur was also selected for Multi- Sectoral Intervention from financial year  2018-19 onward. Further, from  financial year  2022-23, all the districts of Chhattisgarh have been selected for multi-sectoral intervention. District wise details of the fund released and utilized under BBBP for the State of Chhattisgarh since inception of the scheme is at Annexure.

(d) : Under BBBP, earlier funds were released directly to the BBBP dedicated account of the selected districts. However, from the current financial year, in accordance with the directions of Ministry of Finance, the funds are required to be routed through the State Government. In this regard, to manage the funds at State level, the states are required to  open  a   Single  Nodal  Agency  (SNA)  account  and   link  it   with  all  the  subsidiary accounts  at  the  district  level.  Further,  all  the  transactions  are  required  to  be  done through Government's online payment system i.e. Public Finance Management System (PFMS).

Kabirdham and Rajnandgaon districts of Chhattisgarh have been selected in the current financial year (2022-23) only and fund have not been released so far to these districts since the State of Chhattisgarh has not fulfilled this requirement .
