## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT (SHRI NARENDRA SINGH TOMAR)

(a) & (b) The Ministry of Rural Development (MoRD) is implementing Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (Mahatma Gandhi NREGS), Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana National  Rural  Livelihoods  Mission  (DAY-NRLM), Deen Dayal Upadhayay - Gramin Kaushalya Yojana (DDU-GKY), Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana - Gramin (PMAY-G), Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY), National Social Assistance Programme (NSAP), Shyama Prasad  Mukherji Rurban  Mission  (SPMRM)  and  Saansad  Adarsh  Gram  Yojana(SAGY)  to  bring  about  overall improvement  in  the  quality  of  life  of  the  people  in  rural  areas,  strengthening  of  livelihood opportunities,  promoting  self-employment,  skilling  of  rural  youths,  infrastructure  development, provision of social assistance and other basic amenities.

The  details  of  allocation/  utilization/  expenditure  incurred  under  difference  schemes  of  MoRD  to Chhattishgarh and the districts of Rajnandgaon and Kabirdham for the financia years 2018-19, 201920 and 2020-21 are at Annexure .    However,  DDU-GKY and RSETI Schemes are demand driven schemes  and  funds  are  allocated  to  States  as  per  demands  against  approved  Action  Plans.  No district/region-wise allocation of funds is made under both the schemes. Similarly, Mahatma Gandhi NREGS is also  a  demand  driven  scheme  and  no  separate  allocation  to  the  State/district  is  made . Under  the  Saansad  Adarsh  Gram  Yojana  framework,  the  development  of  Gram  Panchayats  is envisaged through convergence and implementation of existing Government Schemes and Programmes under the administrative control of respective Ministries without allocating additional funds.  Under  NSAP  funds  are  allocated  to  States  but  no  district  wise  allocation  is  made.  Under SPMRM,  funds  are  being  released  to  the  States/  UTs  based  on  fulfillment  of  certain  conditions mentioned in the Mission guidelines. Under SPMRM in Rajnandgoan district of Chhattishgarh, one Tribal  cluster  Murmunda  has  been  indentified  and  in  Kabirdham  district,  two  Non-Tribal  clusters namely, Birkona and Kunda have been identified.  Under DAY-NRLM, funds are released to the States and not to the districts which is done by the State.  Under PMGSY, funds are released to the State as a whole as per annual allocation depending upon the absorption capacity of the State and does not release funds to the district directly.
