## STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PARTS (a) to (f) OF THE LOK SABHA STARRED QUESTION NO. 172 FOR AN ANSWER ON 11.03.2025 REGARDING 'GRAM ANCHAYATS'

(a) to (c) Central Government through the Central Sector Schemes, Centrally Sponsored Schemes and Central Finance Commission Grants supplements the efforts of States and Gram Panchayats towards the creation of infrastructure in Panchayats. Article 280 of the Constitution of India provides the basis for the Central Finance Commissions to assess the status of finances of the Union, States and their respective local bodies and recommend sharing of taxes as well as grants for various purposes to the States and Local Bodies. The Finance Commission grant can be used by Rural Local Bodies (RLBs) for location-specific felt needs under 29 subjects enshrined in the Eleventh Schedule of the Constitution, except for salary or other establishment expenditures.

Central Finance Commission grants are continuously increasing from the 13 th Finance Commission to the 15 th Finance Commission grants for Rural Local Bodies in the States including Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan. The allocations under the 13 th FC (FY 2010-15) were Rs. 64,408 Crore and the allocation under the 15 th FC (FY 2021-26) is Rs. 2,36,805 Crore which is around 4 times of 13 th FC allocation.

The details of allocation for the 13 th , 14 th and 15 th FC grants are as under: -

| (Rs. in crore)   | (Rs. in crore)   | (Rs. in crore)           | (Rs. in crore)     |
|------------------|------------------|--------------------------|--------------------|
| State            | FC-XIII (FY 15)  | 2010- FC-XIV (FY2015-20) | FC-XV (FY 2021-26) |
| Uttar Pradesh    | 9904.87          | 35776.57                 | 38012.00           |
| Rajasthan        | 4016.09          | 13633.64                 | 15053.00           |

However, Panchayat, being 'Local Government', is a state subject and part of the State list of the Seventh Schedule (Article 246) of the Constitution of India. It is the state to set up three/(two) tiers of Panchayats as mandated by Article 243 in Part IX of the Constitution of India. It is the responsibility of State Governments to devolve the Function, Fund & Functionary& providing the infrastructural facilities to Panchayats.

The States are providing funds to the Panchayats for the maintenance and development of infrastructure facilities also under the State Finance Commission grants. The Gram Panchayats utilize these funds to carry out works related to 29 subjects including the maintenance and development of infrastructure facilities.

The details of funds provided to Panchayats in Meerut district of Uttar Pradesh and Jalore-Sirohi district of Rajasthan under the Central Finance Commission (CFC) & State Finance Commission (SFC)during the financial year 2024-25 are given below:

The Ministry of Panchayati Raj has taken several measures, which include providing guidelines/advisories to States from time to time on effective devolution, capacity building of Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRI).

The Ministry has also been implementing the Centrally Sponsored Scheme of Revamped Rashtriya Gram Swaraj Abhiyan (RGSA) w.e.f. the financial year 2022-23 in States/ UTswith the primary objective of developing governance capabilities of Panchayati Raj Institutions to deliver on Sustainable Development Goals. The scheme envisages enhancing the capabilities of Panchayats for formulating holistic and inclusive Gram Panchayat Development Plan (GPDP) converging resources available at the GP level for economic development and social justice. The scheme also aims at enhancing the capabilities of Panchayats to raise their Own Sources of Revenue (OSR) and provides for interventions relating to gap-filling support for economic development and income enhancement in Panchayats.

Apart from training, under RGSA, the Ministry also provides support to the States/ UTs to establish institutional mechanisms for Capacity Building & Training and to create Panchayat infrastructure like Gram Panchayat Bhawan and Computers on a limited scale mainly for North Eastern, Hilly and difficult areas.

The role of the Ministry of Panchayati Raj has been that of assisting the State Governments towards taking various measures for improvement in the Own Sources of Revenue (OSR) of the Panchayats. In this regard, MoPR has organized a number of meetings with the States regarding the steps to be taken by them and the Panchayats for improvement in the OSR levels of the Panchayats. Dedicated presentation sessions highlighting the best performing District/Block/ Gram Panchayats have also been organized in various conferences and workshops for the other Panchayats to learn from their best practices. An expert committee has also been constituted which has provided various suggestions for augmentation of OSR which will be taken up with the States for implementation.

(d) Under the Digital India Programme, the Ministry of Panchayati Raj is implementing the e-Panchayat Mission Mode Project (MMP), in all the States/ Union Territories (UTs) of

the country. The aim is to revamp the functioning of Panchayats and to make them more transparent, accountable, and effective. Ministry has launched eGramSwaraj, an accounting application to simplify Panchayat work like planning, accounting, and budgeting. The Ministry has also integrated eGramSwaraj with the Public Financial Management System (PFMS) for Gram Panchayats (GPs) to make real-time payments to vendors/service providers.

The progress made by States/UTs under eGramSwaraj for the 15th Finance Commission during the year 2024-25 is provided in Annexure-I. District-wise progress in the states of Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh is provided in Annexure-II and Annexure-III , respectively.

In addition, the Ministry has integrated eGramSwaraj with the Government eMarketplace (GeM) to bring transparency to Panchayat procurement. This integration allows Panchayats to procure goods and services through GeM via the eGramSwaraj platform, promoting the 'Vocal for Local' initiative. Further, applications developed by the Ministry like Meri Panchayat have endeavoured to bring transparency in Panchayat Governance by making information on planning, activities and progress of works in Panchayat accessible to the public. Similarly, Panchayat NIRNAY is an online application aimed at bringing transparency and better management in the conduct of Gram Sabhas by Panchayats.

Further, an application of 'AuditOnline' has been developed for online audits of Panchayat accounts and their financial management. AuditOnline for transparent auditing of Central Finance Commission funds utilization for strengthening financial management of Panchayats launched in April 2020. For the audit year 2022-23, 2.58 lakh Audit Plans have been created and 2.57 lakh Audit Reports have been generated by PRIs.

(e) The Government has made e-governance mandatory to enhance transparency and efficiency. Specifically, the eGramSwaraj-PFMS Interface (eGSPI) has been made a mandatory requirement for capturing all CFC fund expenditures by Panchayats. Over 2.63 lakh Panchayats have been onboarded and are using eGSPI for digital transactions in development works across various schemes, ensuring real-time fund tracking and financial transparency.

(f) As per the information received from the State, Rajasthan have 11,192 Gram Panchayats including 305& 170-Gram Panchayats in Jalore and Sirohi respectively. All gram panchayats of Rajasthan, have their own building, computers, meeting rooms and electricity. Computer systems have been installed in these gram Sachivalayas, and all payments for gram panchayats are being made through these computer systems. Construction of own buildings etc. is in progress in the newly created Gram Panchayats.

Under the scheme of the revamped RGSA, the State/UT-wise status of the number of GP Bhawan and Computers approved are in Annexure-IV . Further, as per the information available details of GPs without Panchayat Bhawan and without computers are at Annexure-V .
