(PROF. S.P. SINGH BAGHEL)

- (a) There are about 2,55,368 Gram Panchayats in the country. The State-wise number of Gram Panchayats is at Annexure I .
- (b) The government undertakes inspection of the functioning of Gram Panchayats from time to time through meetings, field visits, video-conferences, dashboard data etc. to ensure transparency and accountability and thereby to improve their performance for effective implementation of the schemes and utilisation of funds thereby ensuring of better Panchayati Raj System in the country.

The Ministry of Panchayati Raj is implementing Mission Mode Project on e-Panchayats (MMPePanchayat), a Central component of the Rashtriya Gram Swaraj Abhiyan (RGSA) scheme under

which various e-governance projects are funded towards digitalization of Panchayats to bring in efficiency, accountability and transparency in the functioning of the PRIsand for its overall transformation. To strengthen functioning of PRIs across the country, this Ministry has launched eGramSwaraj (https://egramswaraj.gov.in), a user-friendly web-based portal, which aims to bring in better transparency in the decentralized planning, progress reporting, financial management, work-based accounting and details of assets created. This Portal facilitates all the Panchayats to formulate and upload their plans for utilization of grants under the Central Finance Commission each year. These plans, duly approved by the Panchayats, are monitored at each stage of implementation through the system generated vouchers, geo-tagging and responsibilities assigned to Panchayat Pradhan and Panchayat Secretary.The eGramSwaraj portal has also been integrated with Public Financial Management System for online transfer of the Central Finance Commission funds by the States to PRIs and enabling Panchayats to make real-time payments to vendors/service providers. Panchayats prepare and upload their Annual Panchayat Development Plans on eGramSwaraj portal. For the Plan Year/FY 2024-25, 2.54 lakh Gram Panchayats have prepared and uploaded their Annual Development Plans (GPDPs) on eGramSwaraj portal. In addition, the Ministry has integrated eGramSwaraj with the Government e-Marketplace (GeM) to bring transparency to Panchayat procurement.

Beside this, an application 'AuditOnline' has also been developed for online audit of utilized Central Finance Commission funds and strengthens financial management of Panchayats. A Training Management Portal (TMP) has been developed and operationlised to facilitate real time training monitoring. Further, applications developed by the Ministry like Meri Panchayat has endeavoured to bring transparency in Panchayat Governance by making information on planning, activities and progress of works in Panchayat accessible to public. Similarly, Panchayat Nirnay is an online application aims at bringing transparency and better management in conduct of Gram Sabhas by Panchayats.

(c) 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 expenditure.
